AI Summary

A cross‑party group of MPs and peers has warned that artificial intelligence poses human‑rights risks that current legislation cannot adequately address. The Joint Committee on Human Rights released a report urging Parliament to introduce a dedicated AI bill. The committee argues the new law is needed to confront the “scale and seriousness” of these threats. It calls for legislative action to ensure existing human‑rights protections keep pace with AI developments.
