UK complacent about war threat, warns defence boss

BBC News

The UK has been too complacent about the risk of foreign attack, the boss of Europe's biggest defence contractor BAE Systems has warned. Dr Charles Woodburn told the BBC in an exclusive interview that the level of threat was the highest he'd seen in his lifetime. He welcomed the recent boost to defence spending but said much more would be needed to hit the government's commitment to spend 3.5% of GDP on defence by 2035. He also warned we were not far from the use of autonomous lethal weapons by countries that may not follow the UK's policy of maintaining human control. In a rare interview, Woodburn told the BBC the reality of modern warfare had changed quite profoundly and that UK defence spending had to change with it.

'Let's enjoy the ride' says Elon Musk, as AI fears mount

BBC News

'Let's enjoy the ride' says Elon Musk, as AI fears mount As AI continues to evolve at breakneck speed, and developers warn of models going rogue, Elon Musk says people should simply enjoy the ride. The boss of SpaceX told The Economist, external while he remains concerned about risks posed by advancements in AI and robotics, the most likely outcome is incredible abundance for all. Musk said his philosophical conclusion after fearing for AI's threat to humanity was to look on the bright side. He said progress has come so quickly even if I wanted to stop it, I couldn't. The interview was recorded the day before OpenAI's revelation on Tuesday that some of its most advanced AI models hacked a start-up after it lost control of them during a security test .


Google burning through cash with spiralling AI costs

BBC News

Image caption, Google and its paranet company Alphabet have spent huge amounts on AI. Google parent Alphabet saw its business continue to grow in recent months, yet growing spending on artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure put its leftover cash into negative territory. The company's free cash flow, the cash it maintained after paying for operations and investments, came in at negative $5.9bn (£4.3bn) for the first time in at least a decade, according to its past financial records. Alphabet's spending on AI is now expected to hit as much as $205bn this year, an increase from $190bn, as major tech companies race to build around a new wave of the technology. Meanwhile, Alphabet's combined quarterly revenue hit $119.8bn, up 23% compared with the same time last year. But the company's stock fell 4% in after hours trading.
