What the petition asks
I want the government to stop and review the rollout of smart meters. There is a possibility of the domestic customer losing their energy supply if there was an attack by malicious actors on the smart meter system.
There is no definitive proof that a device that can communicate is more secure than a sealed device that cannot communicate. Therefore with the advent of artificial intelligence which bad actors can obtain I believe it is only a matter of time before the smart meter system is hijacked or disabled. New AI tools could make an attack like this more likely.
