UK shadow technology secretary, Labour
We will move from a voluntary code to a statutory code, so that those companies engaging in that kind of research and development have to release all of the test data and tell us what they are testing for, so we can see exactly what is happening and where this technology is taking us.[...] The results of the tests would help the newly established UK AI Safety Institute reassure the public that independently, we are scrutinising what is happening in some of the real cutting-edge parts of … artificial intelligence.

Verification History

AI Verified Verified: This is from Peter Kyle, then UK Shadow Technology Secretary (Labour), speaking to The Guardian in February 2024. The Guardian URL was blocked by WebFetch, but multiple sources (Silicon UK, Cryptopolitan, etc.) confirm the exact wording "voluntary code to a statutory code" and the reference to the AI Safety Institute. Year 2024 is correct. The vote "for" on "Mandate third-party audits for major AI systems" aligns well - Kyle is calling for mandatory disclosure of test data to the UK AI Safety Institute, which is a form of mandated third-party audit/scrutiny. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 7d ago
