Essay gives the clearest view of Cooper's worldview yet as Labour figures jostle got places in a possible Burnham cabinet. AI poses'Hiroshima'-style threat to humanity without global rules, says Cooper Artificial intelligence poses a "Hiroshima"-style risk to humanity if governments do not agree to curb how it is developed, the foreign secretary has warned. Yvette Cooper urged countries, including the US and China, to agree international rules for AI, telling the Guardian she believes the issue will dominate foreign policy over the next two years. In an essay covering her thoughts on everything from emerging technology to Palestine, Cooper said the world was at a dangerous moment, not least because of what she sees as the permanent withdrawal of the US from its role as a global arbiter.

'Defense,' not'warfare,' stressed as pacifist Japan beefs up capabilities Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi attends an annual training session near Mount Fuji at Higashifuji Training Field in Gotemba, Shizuoka Prefecture, on June 7. Japan is taking lessons on "new ways of warfare" gleaned from the Ukraine and Iran conflicts and making them its own, with the government considering making "new ways of defense" a key tenet of revisions to the country's security policy. But it is also aiming to win public support for its military buildup in the ostensibly pacifist nation, a goal that is evident in the verbal gymnastics officials have performed as the term "new ways of defense" ( atarashii mamorikata) -- as opposed to " new ways of warfare" ( atarashii tatakaikata) -- becomes more prominent in briefings, speeches and official documents. The concept of "new ways of warfare," which emerged following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and references the large-scale use of drones, missiles and artificial intelligence, has been adopted by Japan and scores of other nations. It has gained further prominence among defense planners with the large-scale use of drones and missiles in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

Artificial intelligence will be used on the NHS app to determine which service is most appropriate for patients in England, the health service has announced. A new triage tool will ask patients a series of questions, and will use the responses to direct them to a GP appointment, pharmacy, A&E, community service or offer self-care advice. NHS England said the update would reach more than 200,000 patients in the next 12 months and be available to all app users by April 2028 as part of a major overhaul of its technology. The rollout has been largely welcomed, but some health bodies urged the NHS to prioritise patient safety, confidentiality and inclusion as it grows more reliant on AI. An initial trial of the tool at Wealden Ridge Medical Partnership in Sussex saw a 29% reduction in the number of people queuing on the phone for an appointment.

Some features are more clinically useful than others. Smartwatches and other wearables have moved far beyond just tracking your steps and heart rate. Many of today's versions can monitor everything from sleep and skin temperature to respiratory rate, blood oxygen, heart rate variability and even alert you to possible signs of sleep apnea . If you took Big Tech's marketing at face value, you might conclude that your smartwatch is on the verge of becoming a real-life Star Trek Tricorder. But how reliable are wearables for spotting early signs of illnesses or other medical conditions?

A robotic spacecraft called LINK will soon tug the telescope to a higher orbit. The NASA Swift Boost mission has launched from Marshall Islands on July 3 at 4:36AM Eastern time after a couple of delays, and the agency has started preparing it for its ultimate goal: To rescue the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, which is falling faster than anticipated. Swift Boost's ground teams have already established communication with LINK, the robotic spacecraft designed by Arizona company Katalyst Space to dock with the observatory and to tug it back into a higher orbit. LINK was attached to a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket, which was in turn attached to the belly of a plane called Stargazer. The plane took off from Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands and then released the Pegasus XL rocket in the air at an altitude of around 40,000.

Sam Altman is reportedly considering offering 5% of OpenAI to the U.S. in a deal with Donald Trump, if AI competitors like Anthropic also contribute equity.

Image caption, Ukraine's military described St Petersburg's oil terminal as one of the largest in Russia A major oil terminal in Russia's second city of St Petersburg in the north-west was struck overnight by Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said. He described it as key infrastructure that generates revenue for Russia's war. Ukraine also said a major Russian naval base in the region was hit. St Petersburg Governor Aleksandr Beglov said the city was under a massive drone attack, admitting the oil terminal was hit. Ukraine has recently intensified its long-range drone attacks on Russia's critical energy infrastructure, causing widespread fuel shortages.
