Written evidence to the UK House of Lords’ International Agreement Committee inquiry into Data and Digital Trade
Abstract
Written evidence by Emily Jones, Philippa Collins, Henning Grosse Ruse-Khan, Albert Sanchez-Graells, Kristina Irion, Cosmina Dorobantu, Burcu Kilic , and Daria Onitiu to the House of Lords’ International Agreement Committee inquiry into Data and Digital Trade. This written evidence addresses the question:
How do you think the government should balance issues such as the right to regulate to protect data privacy or to access source code, with commitments in treaties protecting free flows of data or intellectual property of software developers? What has its approach been to date and how do you think it should approach these issues in future?
Source code provisions in concluded UK Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and digital economy agreements do not take sufficient account of the need of governments to introduce a range of measures that will regulate algorithmic and artificial intelligence (AI) systems, mitigate risks associated with the use of AI systems and ensure their developers and providers are held accountable for any harms that arise.
