Speeches by Wrigley.

“They already do. This was the announcement last Sunday, when they were talking about pornography produced by AI now being so good. They already do. We are already there, so I am sorry; it is too late.”

“They already do. This was the announcement last Sunday, when they were talking about pornography produced by AI now being so good. They already do. We are already there, so I am sorry; it is too late.”

“I do not have the benefit of having gone through the Act in its entirety, so I appreciate the input of hon. Members on this subject. It is that one word: “or”. Amendment 245 entailed moving from a test of size “and” functionality to a test of size “or” functionality. That is not, as far as I can hear from what the Mini…”

“The Minister raised the issue of age verification, which is good. However, she did not say how “harmful to adults”, “harmful to vulnerable minorities” and “harmful to women” are categorised. Children are protected in this case, but those other groups are not. Also, in response to the answer that the Minister just gave,…”

“Absolutely—I am. The Secretary of State’s decision to proceed with this narrow interpretation of the Online Safety Act provisions, and the failure to use the power they have to reject Ofcom’s imperfect advice, will allow small, risky platforms to continue to operate without the most stringent regulatory restrictions av…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Sir Christopher. I am disappointed in this statutory instrument. I recognise the Minister’s acknowledgment of the small sites, high-harm issue, but the issue is far more important and we are missing an opportunity here. Can the Minister set out why the regulations as draf…”

“The AI that we see right now is fleeting. In two, three, five or 10 years’ time, it will be continuous learning AI. It will not be trained on, “Here’s a language model, this is what you have learned and therefore this is what you can talk about”. It will be continuously learning. It will be always fed data. It will not…”

“This has been very interesting, and I was fascinated that you used the iPad as an example. A lot of people say that that was stolen from the film “2001: A Space Odyssey” in 1968, which had Newspads in its early scenes. That in itself should probably still be in copyright, but there we go. You talked a lot about transpa…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for securing this important debate. The distinction between Crown post offices and franchised post offices cannot be drawn heavily enough. In my constituency, we lost Crown post offices in Newton Abbot and in Dawlish, and the one in Teignmouth—which I believe is the last in my constituency; all t…”

“Yes, but I am still thinking about the larder.”

“That is obviously why. Yes.”

“That is interesting, thank you. It is nice to know that nothing changes. I spent many years building data warehouses out of relational database systems and trying to combine things to ask sensible questions, which is very much, “What is the question that you want to know?”, which is where you started. You have talked a…”

“—R&D spend, which, interestingly, has the same sorts of concepts, I suspect, we have been looking at trying to understand R&D spend across the whole Government. Do you think we have, collectively, sufficient data on R&D spending in general?”

“Clearly, your library is Dewey Decimal. You are categorised. You are put in a pigeonhole. You are put on a shelf. You are siloed. In a larder, you are not. Interesting. Thank you for that. Sorry. I will go back to—”

“Okay. I am interested in how you stop projects and stop teams. I am also interested in the effectiveness of R&D tax credits.”

“May I ask two very brief questions?”

“Will the hon. Lady give way?”

“We have talked an awful lot about the business model of these platforms causing the behaviour we are trying to examine. I find it is always a good rule to follow the money. Mr Ahmed, you are the first person to talk about advertisers. I find it slightly strange that no one has yet identified the behaviour of the paymas…”

“I draw the House’s attention to my entry on the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. At Teignbridge district council, I oversaw the commencement of council house building for the first time in 30 years. Will the Secretary of State meet me and others to discuss what can be done to make it easier for other councils …”

“I draw attention to my entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests. Talking of localism, district councils provided a useful amount of local accountability. How will the Minister ensure that local accountability continues when the regional identity may be different? May I also ask about the future of towns an…”
