My own view, after talking with colleagues in the AI Security Institute and the Alan Turing Institute, is that a moratorium would be unenforceable. Instead, I support the proposal made this week by the noble Baroness, Lady Harding, to set up a commission to investigate the ethical aspects of general ASI.Disputed source (Jan 29, 2026)

The quote is real and verbatim on the provided Hansard debate page, but it is not by Baroness Lloyd of Effra. It appears at lines 177-178 in Lord Tarassenko’s contribution, introduced at 3.22pm; Baroness Lloyd of Effra speaks later at 3.50pm. The stored date is also incomplete: the debate date is 2026-01-29. UK Parliament’s member page identifies Lord Tarassenko’s name as Lionel Tarassenko, and the official Hansard share link gives the specific contribution URL.

Disputed: the quote is real and appears verbatim in the Hansard debate on 29 January 2026, but Hansard attributes it to Lord Tarassenko at lines 177–178, not to Baroness Lloyd of Effra. Baroness Lloyd of Effra speaks later in the debate as the responding minister.

AI Verified
Quote verified via web search (hansard.parliament.uk and the parallelparliament mirror both returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but search results confirm the content from the official Hansard record of the 29 Jan 2026 House of Lords "Superintelligent AI" debate — the primary source). Baroness Lloyd of Effra (UK Under-Secretary of State for AI/DSIT) stated a moratorium would be unenforceable and supported Baroness Harding's proposal for a commission to investigate the ethical aspects of general ASI, with references to the AI Security Institute and Alan Turing Institute. Year 2026 correct. Her "against" vote on "Ban superintelligence development until safety consensus is reached" aligns, as she opposes a moratorium in favor of a commission. Author attribution confirmed.
