Ms Camille Loftus:

The point about involving the user groups as part of the regulatory process to make the product better is the one that we have to hang on to. There are oodles of examples in law about not being able to ask for a person's consent for something that is illegal. There are plenty of precedents for that kind of stuff. Lots of super-smart people are developing this technology. They are of no use unless they are engaging with the people who the technology is supposed to serve. That is where we as a country can lead, in making sure that those are requirements all of those companies have to engage with in terms of those products, rather than it being an optional extra.
