Labour MP for the Vale of Glamorgan | Minister for AI 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧

[Kanishka Narayan MP @KanishkaNarayan]

Last week, my team gave me the most meaningful surprise: seeing my old Welsh teacher after 25 years.

When we moved to Wales, we received a Welsh welcome: Mr Thomas’ kind belief, a nation growing economically, a community whose confident identity wrapped around us so warmly.

Ahead of the most divisive Senedd elections in our history, the Wales that made me feels less certain.

My hope: that we can return that same kindness to the centre of our national story.

@bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds Thank you for a great conversation, Nick!

[Kanishka Narayan MP @KanishkaNarayan]

Three months into the new job. Two tests driving progress on British AI.

Is it safe? Is it ours to shape? 🇬🇧

Lots more to do!

[Anneliese Dodds @AnnelieseDodds]

Am pleased to see this and other measures announced today - esp extra support for the genuinely world-leading AI Security Institute.

We also need a strong diplomatic and political effort, now, so @andyburnham’s pledge for the G20 next year to lead on AI rules can be fulfilled.

[John Healey @JohnHealey_MP]

Today we're setting out a British approach to AI: backing innovation and growth, managing risks responsibly, and making sure the benefits of AI-enabled growth are felt right across the country.

[Dan Jarvis MP @DanJarvisMBE]

Proud that the UK is at the forefront of global efforts to help make AI safer and more secure.

We’re now building on that record by investing millions to launch the world’s first AI Biosecurity Lab. This will help detect and deter threats — strengthening our national security.

[Kanishka Narayan MP @KanishkaNarayan]

Britain’s strength is our pragmatism: we know the choice is not more or less technology, the choice is whether Britain gets to shape it.

We are determined to shape AI with British values, in the British national interest 🇬🇧

[Kanishka Narayan MP @KanishkaNarayan]

To keep us safe on AI, we will test AI, we will harden our defences, we will convene the world, we will build in Britain and, yes, wherever needed, we will regulate.

[Kanishka Narayan MP @KanishkaNarayan]

We are focused on the British public’s concerns about AI. Is it safe? Is it shaped by us? Do we all get to benefit?

Great to speak to @BBCBreakfast about significant investments for safe AI that spreads opportunity.

[Kanishka Narayan MP @KanishkaNarayan]

7/7 And I want us to act, not just understand: we're also investing £30m in partnerships with Mayors to help local businesses adopt AI, create good jobs, and improve public services.

This @UKLabour government is determined to keep Britain safe, rebuild our industrial strength and ensure the benefits of AI reach every part of the country.

[Kanishka Narayan MP @KanishkaNarayan]

1/7 I have two simple tests for British AI, driven by our values. Is it safe? And is it ours to shape? 🇬🇧

Today, Chancellor @JohnHealey_MP is announcing a major, ambitious package of investment to strengthen Britain's defences against emerging threats, back British innovation, and build our technological independence.

[Kanishka Narayan MP @KanishkaNarayan]

6/7 I know people are concerned about how AI will reshape jobs and livelihoods.

We are investing another £23m in the AI Economics Institute.

I want us to build the quickest sense of AI’s impact on productivity, jobs and living standards, so technological progress benefits working people.

[Kanishka Narayan MP @KanishkaNarayan]

A pleasure to welcome His Excellency @HCI_London and to talk through concrete steps in deepening the UK and India’s shared interest: AI that is driven by our values, focused on our public interest 🇬🇧🇮🇳

[India in the UK @HCI_London]

[Wales Office @WalesOffice]

Backed by £2.5bn in UK Government funding, the Gwyndod project will bring new nuclear to Anglesey, creating thousands of good jobs for local people and driving growth across North Wales.

Wales Office Minister @clairehughesBA spoke at an event on Ynys Môn bringing together hundreds of businesses interested in supporting the construction and delivery of the UK’s first small modular reactors on the Wylfa site.

[UK House of Commons Committees @HoCcommitteesUK]

Minister for Artificial Intelligence @KanishkaNarayan at the @cabinetofficeuk and @biztradegovuk told the committee he is determined the science and tech sectors will benefit from the changes across government.

[Cabinet Office @cabinetofficeuk]

We can build trust in AI by building the technology right here in the UK.

Above all, we are committed to ensuring AI is developed safely and securely - capturing the immense opportunity while mitigating the risks to our national security.

[Kanishka Narayan MP @KanishkaNarayan]

@senguptadhruv @lukerramsden I like my socks. Suit probably does need fixing.
