Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of how the AI Cyber Security Code of Practice will help businesses use AI responsibly; and how they will encourage businesses to adopt the Code of Practice.

As part of the Government’s efforts to ensure technologies can be used safely, the Code of Practice was published and will be used to create a global standard in the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). Addressing AI cyber risks will help businesses harness AI benefits. The updated Code, informed by a risk assessment, literature reviews, an enterprise survey, Call for Views feedback, and NCSC’s Guidelines for Secure AI Development, includes an implementation guide with detailed actions and AI use case examples. DSIT will engage with industry to understand how to support businesses in adopting the future standard.
