At Lib Dems' conference in Brighton, leader will accuse Andy Burnham of relying on Donald Trump and'tech bros' to solve problem Ed Davey is to call for a global nuclear-style non-proliferation treaty to halt the development of super-intelligent AI when he makes his keynote speech at the Liberal Democrat conference, accusing Andy Burnham of relying on Donald Trump and "tech bros" to solve the problem. When he addresses the faithful on the final day of the gathering in Brighton, the party leader will call for a global pause on super-intelligent AI, comparing it to a nuclear arms race that could result in technology that could "destroy us all". Davey is expected to lay out plans in his speech on Tuesday for a new international AI safety agency - modelled on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and headquartered in the UK, after numerous warnings from AI researchers that artificial intelligence could wipe out humanity within the decade.
