Looks like the UK is leading the world by shamelessly sacrificing AI safety at the altar of Trump. Appeasement never works and we have gone backwards towards again being spineless lapdogs in this special relationship.
I remember when we shamelessly followed them in supporting the Iraq war via a sexed up document.
AI can be very error prone and has the potential to be seriously dangerous. It has been said to be used for military purposes and when life and death is in the hands of a computer’s decision, who is going to take responsibility for this? Dangerous. We need protections.
We may be on the wrong side of history here. Cowardly from Keir’s Labour. I wonder if we traded this for zero tariffs.
I agree on the point about being clueless.
You can invest in a technology and be safe. Take nuclear power for example. It’s just the risks are more obvious because of the past.
If you look at Vance, they’re clearly driving this objection, and wanted us to demonstrate they are not the only ones. China is winning in AI and they were willing to sign. You can have technology and safeguards/ethics.
