Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of a future transformative technology partnership with the United States of America mentioned in the US–UK Economic Prosperity Deal on the regulatory framework for the artificial intelligence sector in the United Kingdom.

The US is our foremost important science and technology partner, and we look forward to strengthening collaboration on shared priorities, including AI, to drive economic growth and technological advancement.

We have had early discussions with the US Government about deepening our partnership on advanced technologies and there is appetite on both sides. Whilst areas of potential collaboration are wide ranging, it would be inappropriate to comment on the scope and impact of future discussions.

We continue to consider international context when developing policy and are committed to a proportionate AI regulatory framework which supports our vision for growth and security.
