An amendment to the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill would give UK ministers powers to regulate the deployment and reporting of agentic AI in certain organisations, including gas and electricity suppliers, managed service providers and cloud providers. It would not impose duties directly, and would allow investigatory powers, organisation notification, evidence preservation and government-led incident reviews after an AI agent compromise. Foundation model developers would not automatically be in scope.
