UK needs new laws for AI in healthcare, says watchdog
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. What I would expect is that patients will... increasingly see AI as part of the way that normal NHS healthcare is delivered, he said. That should happen in a way that they can maintain their trust and their confidence in what's happening.
Anthropic worker quits over AI firms 'gambling with our lives'
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. Jacob Coxon, who said he had worked at both Anthropic and OpenAI over the past three years, warned in a social media post late Tuesday that the two companies were pressing ahead with "self-improving" AI models that could become too powerful for humans to control. "They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives," Coxon wrote in a series of messages on X. "Do not underestimate the power of this technology. 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.
Lawmakers blast AI companies after researcher warns of human extinction by 2030
'A recent poll shows that the American people overwhelmingly want to ban artificial super intelligence and pause the development of AI until we establish clear safety standards.' 'A recent poll shows that the American people overwhelmingly want to ban artificial super intelligence and pause the development of AI until we establish clear safety standards.' Former Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon said AI will become'superhuman systems' that can cause human extinction by the end of the decade Just a day after three Anthropic researchers warned that artificial intelligence could kill off humanity within the decade, lawmakers have begun lashing out about the risks of the burgeoning technology. Ted Cruz, a republican senator from Texas, said in an interview on ABC's The View, that AI poses a "catastrophic risk" and that he "read that whole tweet thread that that developer put out. "It reminded me, last year I had Elon Musk on my podcast and one of the questions I asked him, I said, 'OK, what are the odds that AI destroys humanity?'
