Possible questions

The Committee examines the key issues in artificial intelligence. This is likely to include:

• What are the biggest opportunities and risks associated with artificial intelligence over the coming decade?
• How could the Government maximise the opportunities and minimise the risks associated with artificial intelligence?
• Should the Government be concerned about the possible impact on the labour market?
• Should the taxpayer see a return on the use of public data to develop AI systems?
• How best could the ethical issues associated with artificial intelligence be addressed?
• How should the UK be working with other countries to shape the development of artificial intelligence?
• Should efforts be made to improve the public's understanding of, and engagement with, artificial intelligence? If so, how?
• Is the media covering developments in artificial intelligence well? Should this be improved?
