To The UK Government and Kanishka Narayan, AI Minister at the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.
Image adapted from original - credit: ©House of Commons / Laurie NobleI'm genuinely concerned at the lack of regulation around AI. People are already using AI to generate videos, images and voices that mislead others. Whether it's an algorithm scoring us at work or a fake video shaping what we believe, the problem is the same. AI is being used on us without our knowledge, and there's no law that says it has to be honest with us.
In September, MPs and peers have called for a new AI law, tech bosses have warned things are moving faster than anyone can keep up with, and the Government turned down even a basic safety measure for dangerous AI. If the people building this technology are worried, I think it's fair that the rest of us are too.
The EU has already started protecting people from the worst of this but the UK hasn't. I don't want to find out the hard way what happens when the law hasn't caught up.
Petition text
I want the Government to bring in a law that protects workers and the public from AI:
1. Ban AI that reads our emotions or manipulates us at work
2. Give us the right to know when AI is watching, scoring or deciding things about our job
3. Treat AI used in hiring, monitoring and managing us as high-risk, with real legal duties on employers who use it
4. Give us a watchdog to go to when AI treats us unfairly
5. Label AI-generated content clearly, so nobody is misled by a fake video, image or voice
Introduce AI regulation to protect workers and the public
