Artificial intelligence’s ability to wreak mass destruction in the hands of terrorists will dominate a summit of world leaders. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been warning of the risks posed by AI for months and is urging the international community to adopt guards to prevent it being misused. The UK government has now confirmed an upcoming AI safety summit in Bletchley Park in November will focus on fears over the technology being used by terrorists to create bioweapons or cyber-attacks and the emergence of advanced systems that escape human control. It said in a statement: “There are...

AI has the power to destabilise the world unless urgent action is taken, the Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden is set to warn. He will tell the United Nations general assembly on Friday (22.09.23) the pace of development risks outstripping governments’ ability to make it safe after the technology has become one of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s obsessions. The UK is scheduled to host a global summit to discuss AI regulation in November amid growing fears AI could eventually destroy jobs, spread disinformation and even take over the control of weapons systems. According to the BBC, Mr D...

Britain’s new emergency alert service will be tested at 3pm on Sunday 23 April. The siren-style alarm is set to be used in “life-threatening situations” such as extreme weather, flooding and fires according to the government, though it is said to be unlikely to be used during an active terror attack – as the attackers would then also receive a notification. Cabinet Office minister Oliver Dowden said the alert could one day "be the sound that saves your life". Messages will ping up on mobile phones across the nation and a sound and vibration that will stop automatically after 10 seconds. Phone ...

Police using security cameras from China-based firms should be deemed a security issue, watchdog warns. Forces were still deploying these devices despite “security and ethical concerns" about the manufacturer amid concerns about Chinese spy balloons flying over US government buildings, says the Camera Commissioner. Professor Fraser Sampson said: "There has been a lot in the news in recent days about how concerned we should be about Chinese spy balloons 60,000ft up in the sky," "I do not understand why we are not at least as concerned about the Chinese cameras 6ft above our head in the street a...

King Charles will maintain a 700-year-old tradition with a call-out for people to attend his coronation. The 74-year-old monarch took the throne in September following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth but will be formally crowned on 6 May, and anyone whose ancestor has played a part in a previous coronation can apply to take part in this year's ceremony. While the ancient Court of Claims ritual is expected to prompt a flood of applications, most are likely to be left disappointed because they must provide evidence of their hereditary right to be involved. It is expected most application...

Ofcom has urged young people to join the fight against harmful online content. The communications regulator in the UK has found that two-thirds of youngsters aged between 13 and 17 see harmful content online - but a mere 16 percent of this demographic actually report it to the necessary parties. Anna-Sophie Harling - Ofcom's online safety principal - said: "Platforms already have systems and processes in place to keep users safe. "User flagging tools are an option that are already available. We know that platforms use proactive content moderation to find harmful content and remove it, but we d...

Social media firms have been warned by the UK government that they could face hefty fines if they fail to remove harmful content quickly. The government is seeking to improve online safety through a new bill announced in the Queen's Speech earlier this week, and Digital Secretary Oliver Dowden has welcomed the introduction of the "ground-breaking laws". It's hoped that the move will lead to "a new age of accountability for tech". On the other hand, some campaigners have already questioned the new legislation, suggesting it's too vague and not strong enough. Tech entrepreneur Belinda Parmar tol...

English soccer teams have announced plans for a social media boycott in response to racist abuse. Premier League, English Football League and Women's Super League clubs are all set to join the social media blackout - an idea that emerged amid the wave of online abuse directed at players. Sanjay Bhandari, of the anti-discrimination charity Kick it Out, said: "This boycott signifies our collective anger. Social media is now sadly a regular vessel for toxic abuse. "By removing ourselves from the platforms, we are making a symbolic gesture to those with power. We need you to act. We need you to cr...

The UK government says a Facebook news ban must be avoided. Last month, Australia passed a new law forcing Google and Facebook to pay publishers for news content. The bill - called the News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code - requires the two companies to negotiate licensing agreements with publishers for news articles appearing on Facebook's feed and Google search. Facebook had temporarily blocked Australians from sharing news in response to the country making the site pay for Australian journalism. And the UK's Digital Secretary, Oliver Dowden, branded the move "nuclear" ...
