The UK wants to catch up in the global AI race – but is too wary to go all-in

The Guardian

UK fears a'triple whammy': oversized investment in AI stocks, slower adoption of AI than predicted and the breakneck pace of AI's development The UK wants a piece of the mammoth global investment in AI but fears it as well. In the coming weeks, the Bank of England is planning to ease capital rules to help encourage more lending. But the central bank simultaneously expressed concerns that there are too many loans going to investors like hedge funds, who are using that money to buy up AI stocks. The central bank's moves reflect the country's global position: hoping to catch up to the US and China in the AI race, struggling to mobilize its resources to do so, and too wary of the risks to go full bore. UK banking regulators have recently been under enormous pressure to do more to stimulate growth, my colleague Kalyeena Makortoff this week reports.

The Chatbot That Foretold Why People Share Secrets With ChatGPT

WIRED

In the 1960s an MIT professor named Joseph Weizenbaum created a chatbot called ELIZA. The conversations people had with it set precedents for the chatbots to come. In the 60 years that ELIZA has been influencing computation and culture, conventional accounts portray it as the earliest example of what we now call chatbots, one that could converse as an automated psychologist. The deceptively simple program is known for "fooling" even the secretary who watched MIT professor Joseph Weizenbaum create it. That's how the story goes.


Google brings Gemini in Chrome to UK users

Engadget

You'll start seeing the'Ask Gemini' button in your browser. Google has just rolled out Gemini for Chrome in the UK. The integration doesn't sit well with everybody -- and Gemini isn't the most popular AI assistant out there -- but you will start seeing an Ask Gemini button with a sparkle icon soon if you're in the United Kingdom and use Google's browser. Gemini's Chrome integration used to be exclusively available to AI Pro or AI Ultra subscribers, but Google made it more widely available in the US on desktop in late 2025. The company then rolled out the feature to Latin America and the Middle East, and then to Canada, India and New Zealand, until it made its way to over 50 countries around the world.


Who will win the 2026 FIFA World Cup? Here's what AI predicts

Al Jazeera

Who will win the World Cup? Who will win the 2026 FIFA World Cup? Here's what AI predicts As the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup enters its final stages, AJLabs asked nine leading AI models to predict the tournament's final podium based on all available data for each team, including: France emerged as the favourite to lift the trophy, receiving five (Gemini, Grock, DeepSeek, Le Chat and Qwen) of the nine champion votes. Argentina, the defending world champions, received the remaining four votes (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and Meta AI). Predictions for the runner-up were more divided: France and Argentina each received three votes, followed by England with two and Spain with one. Spain was the clear favourite to finish third, receiving six of the nine third-place predictions, while England and France each received fewer votes. The predictions reflect a broad AI consensus around the four remaining contenders, France, Argentina, Spain and England, but also highlight differences in how leading language models weigh recent performances, squad depth and tournament momentum.

The Problem With VAR at the 2026 World Cup Isn't the Technology--It's Who Interprets It

WIRED

The video assistant referee system, or VAR, has led to some controversial calls at the 2026 World Cup. The penultimate Round of 16 match at the 2026 World Cup between Argentina and Egypt was marked not just by exceptional goals, great saves, and fans devoted to their teams. The match also sparked one of the most widely discussed controversies surrounding the video assistant referee system, known as VAR, a technology designed to assist on-field officials in making fairer decisions, but whose use has been criticized for allegedly favoring certain teams. Egypt was eliminated from the tournament with a 3-2 loss to Argentina, after having held a two-goal lead. The Egyptian Football Association argued that "the failure to properly use VAR" had influenced several refereeing decisions that affected the final score.
