The UK needs new regulations for AI products used in the NHS and other healthcare settings, says Britain's industry watchdog. The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which regulates all medical devices and licenses treatment drugs in the UK, has published 44 recommendations to update its policies as the use of AI in the sector rises. The technology will soon be routinely used within the NHS, MHRA chief Lawrence Tallon told the BBC.

Anthropic worker quits over AI firms'gambling with our lives' There have been a series of increasingly dire warnings from within the industry that artificial intelligence poses a growing threat to national security and the global economy. An artificial intelligence researcher has resigned from Anthropic and called on other staffers to rethink their work, citing his concern that the company and its top competitor OpenAI are acting irresponsibly in their all-out pursuit of a technology that poses existential risks to humanity.

These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources." In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.
