Possible Questions
- What do you see as the greatest possible benefits and most pressing concerns associated with AWS?
- What do you understand by the terms "context appropriate human involvement" and "meaningful human control" in relation to AWS? Given these terms underpin the UK's policy on AWS, how can these be translated into operational reality?
- What impact might the development of AWS by the UK have on its position on the global stage?
