answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2023 answer text <p>Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies will make it easier, quicker, and cheaper for malign actors to spread false information. The UK is engaging internationally to manage risks on AI-generated foreign information manipulation and interference, including disinformation. The FCDO is growing its capability to assess and respond to the full range of information threats by hostile actors, working closely with international partners. The UK is an international leader in AI, and convened the first global AI Safety Summit where, amongst other risks, participants noted AI's ability to amplify risks such as disinformation and misinformation as a concern to be urgently addressed. The UK also plays a leading role in international AI governance discussions, through the Council of Europe, G7, G20, the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).</p> answering member constituency Berwick-upon-Tweed answering member printed Anne-Marie Trevelyan question first answered 20/12/2023 16:52:51 answering member 4531 label Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan
