My Lords, there is considerable debate around AI superintelligence. Some experts believe that AI could exceed human capabilities by 2030, which would significantly impact the UK’s economy and national security. The AI Security Institute helps the Government assess serious AI risks, equipping it to understand them. That will help us reap the benefits of AI such as economic growth and public sector efficiency. Our AI Opportunities Action Plan lays the foundation for national renewal, and I am pleased to inform noble Lords that in the past 12 months we have achieved 38 out of our 50 commitments in the plan.
