PPA to submit a response to Digital and Communications Committee inquiry into Large Language Models

The House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee has launched an inquiry into Large Language Models (LLMs) which will consider how the Government and regulators should respond to them over the next one to three years.

The Committee will collect evidence from experts and then conclude its inquiry with a series of recommendations to the Government which the Government will then later respond to.

LLMs are machine learning models, a type of Artificial Intelligence algorithm, designed to learn the statistical properties of text content to generate new text that mimics the style of the original input text. ChatGPT is an example of a LLM.

Next steps: The PPA will be submitting a response to the Committee’s call for evidence to support the inquiry.

If you wish to hear more about this or feed into the submission, please contact the PPA’s Policy & Public Affairs Manager Eilidh.wilson@ppa.co.uk.
