Select committee: Communications and Digital Committee

Conclusion 8

1st Report - Large language models and generative AI Published 2 Feb 2024 Paragraph 56
Conclusion (the committee's words)
The perception of conflicts of interest risks undermining confidence in the integrity of Government work on AI. Addressing this will become increasingly important as the Government brings more private sector expertise into policymaking. Some conflicts of interest are inevitable and we commend private sector leaders engaging in public service, which often involves incurring financial loss. But their appointment to powerful Government positions must be done in ways that uphold public confidence.
