Big Tech companies could be forced to inform the UK government before they roll out new security features under reforms to the Investigatory Powers Bill laid out in the King's Speech.

The speech, delivered by King Charles in parliament on Tuesday, contains the government's legislative programme for the coming parliamentary year. It also included proposals around use of driverless vehicles, but there are no plans for new laws pertaining to artificial intelligence, despite the UK hosting an international AI safety summit last week.
