Information & Ethics committee  That's a really useful example. Thank you. We do know, and there's plenty of evidence about this, that there is both deliberate and unconscious bias inherent in AI. I think there's quite a strong argument for a regulatory approach to govern AI deployment, much like we have in,

Information & Ethics committee  How willing are you to make the work that you've been doing public? I appreciate if you're doing it behind the scenes. That's great, but it would be useful to know what you're doing and what your colleagues are doing.

Information & Ethics committee  It would be really nice to see a virtual assistant that is not a subservient female in the future. I look forward to seeing something different. Thank you.

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you very much, Chair. I want to go back to something you said earlier, John, about a board or a group that you have to look at sensitive use of AI. Can you give me an example of what sort of AI deployment you would describe as “sensitive”?

Information & Ethics committee  Would either of you like to comment on the innovation point from your company's perspective?

Information & Ethics committee  But they have to do it through you, don't they? Where else would they go?

Information & Ethics committee  But there aren't that many competitors, are there?

Information & Ethics committee  It sounds a bit odd to me that you have very few competitors, yet it's fierce. That's not what I'd normally assume to be the case. How about you, Erik?

Information & Ethics committee  Okay, thank you.

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you, Chair. I would like to turn to a different subject altogether, competitions and markets. I would like to ask Mark and Erik if they think different competition and antitrust rules should apply to tech giants, considering their unprecedented influence and market power.

Information & Ethics committee  As a consumer, do you think that large global tech giants have too much market influence and power?

Information & Ethics committee  How about you, John?

Information & Ethics committee  That quite neatly leads me on to my next question. I think there is quite a strong argument that global tech giants are a bit like a public utility and should be treated as such because of the power you wield. Bearing in mind what you said just now about innovation, do you think

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you, Chair. Ms. Weintraub, I want to ask you, as someone with an obvious professional interest and expertise in this area, do you think we in the U.K. would have more confidence in the integrity in our elections and referenda if we had a Mueller-type inquiry into the 2016

Information & Ethics committee  Do you see any overlap between those incidents, or any trend in terms of what happened there and what you know about the European Union referendum?
