Labour is campaigning on stronger checks and balances to manage the growing risks of artificial intelligence.

The party's proposing establishing an 'Office of AI' to co-ordinate policy across Government, including clearer copyright rules, safe adoption for small businesses, and forcing data centres to secure their own renewable energy supply and pay connection costs. 

Labour's science, technology and innovation spokesperson, Reuben Davidson, says this will allow for more Government involvement in the technology.

"Like all opportunities, there's a level of risk - and I think it requires responsible governance."
