Question
For a decade we have rightly been worried about the impact of misinformation on social media fuelled by hostile foreign states, but now millions of people get their information from AI chatbots. What work is the Secretary of State doing with European allies to protect the information provided by AI systems during elections here and overseas?
Answer
My hon. Friend raises an important issue. I recently read the Foreign Affairs Committee’s report on these issues, and that was an important document. He is absolutely right about countering all the threats we face from AI, as well as taking advantage of the opportunities. That is something that the new centre the Prime Minister announced will definitely do.17% vibes
Verdict: RED (20/100)
The reply refers to AI threats in general and says the new centre announced by the Prime Minister will address them. It does not mention European allies, the accuracy of AI outputs in elections, or any concrete action on either point. Because the response stays generic and leaves the specific parts of the question unanswered, the person who asked would likely need to submit a follow-up.
