We need'right to intervene' in AI amid growing threat, says Bank of England boss Andrew Bailey's comments come as fears grow that rogue models could take financial system hostage The governor of the Bank of England has said authorities must retain the "right to intervene" in the AI industry amid growing fears that rogue models could take the financial system hostage. Andrew Bailey said the risks posed by the rapid advancement of frontier AI models - a number of which have gone rogue in recent months - were "real and increasingly significant" and reduced the ability of society to supervise and intervene when things went wrong. That had implications for financial stability, with the new technology having increased the "scale and sophistication of cyber threats to the financial system".

She shimmered in Hollywood's silent movie era and lit up the first talkies - now Greta Garbo may be about to star in cinema's new AI age. More than a century after her screen debut and decades after her ashes were laid to rest in a Swedish woodland cemetery, the Hollywood superstar's descendants are ready to consider an AI version of her taking a 21st-century film role. Her likeness has already been reanimated for an advert for a Swedish industrial company, using AI generation technology.

Guterres said there needed to be'a recognition, especially by superpowers, that their power isn't so super. Guterres said there needed to be'a recognition, especially by superpowers, that their power isn't so super. Superpowers cannot solve world's problems, UN chief says in final general assembly address The world's fault lines have turned from cracks into canyons as superpowers show that they alone do not have the military, economic and technological power to guarantee security or solve the world's problems, the outgoing secretary general of the United Nations has said in his final address to the general assembly. In a speech laced with despair but also glimpses of defiant hope, António Guterres said that over the last decade, largely spanning his 10-year period in office, "wars erupted with devastating consequences and dragged on with despicable cruelty. He continued: "Geopolitical divides have deepened.

Ed Davey on the beach at Brighton during the Lib Dems' party conference, where he is expected to lay out plans for a new international AI safety agency. 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.

The treasurer said the'intergenerational report illuminates the road ahead'. The treasurer said the'intergenerational report illuminates the road ahead'. There will be more Australians dying than being born in 40 years' time, according to the government's latest intergenerational report, which lays bare the fundamental challenges of managing an ageing population at a time of rapid change and lower economic growth. The country's seventh IGR also outlines how Australia is at the cusp of a new and uncertain age of artificial intelligence that will shape the economy and society over the coming four decades. Jim Chalmers, in a speech at the Australian National University to coincide with the release of the analysis, said "this intergenerational report illuminates the road ahead".

China bogeyman looms large over American firms' AI doomsday scenario Silicon Valley China hawks, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei among them, fear the country surpassing US's AI lead as much as superintelligence destroying humanity "We're leading China in AI," Trump said. "We're the most sophisticated country in the world, and frankly, I want to keep it that way, because whoever wins AI, wins." Trump was echoing a message the AI industry has put out for years. The US is in a heated technological race with China, companies including Anthropic and OpenAI have argued, and any regulation that would cede the contest risks incalculable economic and political harm. Even as Dario Amodei, Anthropic's CEO, led an industry-wide call this week to "pace the frontier", he declared that the US could only slow down to the point where China could not catch up.

Andrew Hastie has called for artificial intelligence that is run by Australians rather than Americans. Andrew Hastie has called for artificial intelligence that is run by Australians rather than Americans. Andrew Hastie says AI advised him to reply'congratulations!' to man who planned to end life with assisted dying Liberal MP speaks of AI's shortcomings as cyber chief tells inquiry the tech is needed to fend off'highly capable malicious cyber actors' When a man with a terminal illness wrote to his local MP Andrew Hastie, telling him he planned on ending his own life with voluntary assisted dying, Microsoft Copilot suggested Hastie reply with "congratulations!", "great to hear from you" or "that is wonderful news!". Hastie shared the episode at a parliamentary inquiry on Friday to underline the shortcomings of the American-run software as he called for AI run by Australians. The hearing offered the some of the most detailed explanations of the Albanese government's desire to bring Anthropic and OpenAI to Australia, in the face of calls to slow them down or shut them out.

After a week of alarming warnings about the technology's potential to destroy the world as we know it, our expert tech reporters will take your questions on the reality of the AI threat. The last week or so has seen disturbing claims about the capacity of superintelligent AI to destroy the planet . It has also seen warnings coming from figures within the industry itself, including Anthropic's report that criminals, state-sponsored groups, spyware vendors, scientists and propagandists have attempted to use its models to "design missiles and bombs, create deadly pathogens and surveil dissidents" and Elon Musk's claim it could be " more dangerous than nukes ". Our reporting team has been trying to make sense of the scale of these claims. Is the great AI freakout justified?

'Godfather of AI' says tech regulation is nearing Covid-style pivot moment Concerns over AI safety are reaching a point where governments realise they must act to protect the public, similarly to in the Covid pandemic, according to one of the "godfathers" of the technology. Yoshua Bengio said recent events, including a "swarm" of OpenAI agents hacking a startup and tech insider warnings of an existential threat, were cutting through - making government action more likely. The Canadian computer scientist, a prominent voice in the campaign to rein in breakneck AI development, said he was now "more optimistic than many observers because I see the public moving".
