This bill is dead and never bound anyone. It was a private member's bill sponsored by Lord Holmes of Richmond, first read in the House of Lords on 4 March 2025 in the 2024-26 session. Its long title was 'to make provision for the regulation of artificial intelligence; and for connected purposes'. It never received a second reading, so it was never debated on its merits and no print later than the version as introduced exists. Parliament prorogued on 29 April 2026, ending the 2024-26 session.
The bill's own record on the parliamentary tracker states that it will make no further progress. A bill that falls at prorogation can only return by being introduced afresh in a new session. This is a different bill from the Artificial Intelligence (Regulation) Bill [HL] of the 2023-24 session, which fell at the 2024 dissolution. The United Kingdom still has no general, cross-sector artificial intelligence statute.
