'OpenAI could soon be selling young people a one-stop-shop for learning, credentials and a job, all heavily dependent on its tools.' 'OpenAI could soon be selling young people a one-stop-shop for learning, credentials and a job, all heavily dependent on its tools.' Big AI is trying to own the pathway to work. AI companies like OpenAI are insinuating themselves into the pathway from education to work. Soon they may claim it entirely, a disastrous result for students. We know that students are using AI at school and at university. In conversations with those I teach, I'm struck by the trust many place in it.

'Culture shift' needed in how UK does business, PM urges The UK needs a culture shift in how it does business, Andy Burnham has said ahead of a meeting with some of the UK's biggest bosses. The prime minister said those who take risks in business should be backed by government and local leaders should have the power to work with businesses. The current Labour government has been criticised for increasing costs for businesses, such as with the employer national insurance and minimum wage changes under Burnham's predecessor Sir Keir Starmer. Downing Street said Burnham will meet with the chief executives of BP, Shell, HSBC, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, BT, Vodafone, Rolls-Royce, and several others at Number 10. Ahead of the meeting, Burnham said he would give people the confidence that if they have a great idea, they'll get all the support they need to bring it to life.

Questions mount over what an AI'slowdown' would look like There has been no shortage of warnings from AI's top bosses about existential threats over the years. I attended the world's first AI safety summit in Bletchley Park in November 2023 where the focus was on the most serious threats imaginable, posed by the most powerful AI models. At the time, many thought this was in the realm of sci-fi and the real threats were comparatively far more mundane: job losses, cheating in exams. Three years later, many of those same voices don't seem to be so sure. On Saturday head of AI company Anthropic, Dario Amodei, urged the pace of development to be slowed down - the bosses of two rival AI firms, Sam Altman of OpenAI and Elon Musk said they agreed with him.

A Russian strike has hit a train near the Ukraine-Poland border shortly after former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and other top European officials had passed through. No casualties were reported after the Russian strike, which hit the train's engine. Johnson and some of Europe's most senior security advisers, including the UK's Jonathan Powell, had passed along the same line on their way back from a conference in the capital, Kyiv. Russia said Sunday it struck railway infrastructure in western Ukraine, but the former PM said I don't know what warped logic drove Putin to blow up a stationary Ukrainian locomotive on the Polish border this morning and asked When are we going to give them the air defences they need? Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk said a Russian drone had struck 800m from Polish border.

'Really helpful': the AI bootcamps aimed at addressing UK youth unemployment In a youth centre opposite Preston bus station, the UK government is trying to address two of the greatest challenges facing the national economy: AI and youth unemployment. The hope is that one will solve - rather than cause - the other. In a room at the recently opened Vault, a community hub in the Lancashire city, an "AI bootcamp" is under way - part of a trial in the north-west to give 16-to 24-year-olds AI training. The bootcamp tutor is standing in front of a video screen and guiding the five attenders sitting around a long table on laptops through a task designed to emphasise the importance of glitch-free data in AI models.

AI staff'genuinely frightened' for humanity's future, ex-Anthropic researcher tells BBC To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Figure caption, 'There is a possibility of human extinction,' former Anthropic employee says about AI An AI researcher who quit Anthropic told the BBC that people working on the technology are genuinely frightened about the speed of its advancements and what it could mean for humanity. Jacob Coxon spoke with BBC's Laura Kuenssberg on Saturday about his viral resignation post where he raised concerns about out-of-control artificial intelligence. I believe that if we don't slow down at the current rate of progress, there is a strong chance that we could all die in the immediate future, he said. His resignation comes amid growing safety concerns in the industry, including from his former boss, head of Anthropic Dario Amodei, who in an essay on Saturday argued for development to slow down.

Critics celebrate Céline Dion's'high-stakes' comeback show in Paris Iconic Canadian pop singer Céline Dion has kicked off her long-awaited comeback show in Paris on Saturday, after a six-year hiatus due to health issues. The 58-year-old superstar was diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder called stiff person syndrome in 2022, which forced her to pull back from touring. Dion, one of the best-selling musical artists of all time, has not performed a full show since a 2020 concert in New Jersey - the last before the Covid pandemic cut her tour short. In 2024, she performed just one song at the Paris Olympics closing ceremony. Saturday marked the first of Dion's 26-show residency at the Paris La Défense Arena, Europe's largest covered concert arena.

Some dentists say more young people are grinding their teeth - are you one of them? Ella can't remember when she first started grinding her teeth at night, but she can vividly recall the excruciating jaw ache, the headaches, and being told her molars were disappearing. I was in so much pain, Ella says. My face was changing shape and my teeth were at risk of breaking - I knew I had to do something about it. The 31-year-old has bruxism, a condition which can cause regular and often intense teeth grinding, but says the treatment she's recently had has without a doubt changed her life.

Tom Felton: I'm so excited to see Rupert Grint play Ron Weasley again Every night on Broadway, Tom Felton walks on stage and is met with a roar from the audience. He had expected the reaction to die down after the first week, but it never did. Almost 15 years after his final appearance as Draco Malfoy on screen, Felton has spent the past 10 months playing the character again in the Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. I meet the actor in a dressing room at NBC Studios, just off Times Square in New York. He's just finished a live television appearance and in a few hours will be back on stage for his next performance.

'Nigel hits the jackpot' and'Dark day for democracy' Image caption, Almost every paper on Sunday leads on a record-breaking double donation of £72m to Reform UK over the weekend. The Daily Mail declares Nigel hits the jackpot, describing the way the jubilant Reform UK leader hailed it as an investment in democratic renewal. Farage told the paper that the £72m war chest would be used to professionalise the party. Image caption, The donation to Reform UK was courtesy of two cryptocurrency billionaires, according to the Sunday Times, who each gifted the party £36m. The paper calls it an unprecedented cash injection for Reform UK, and says the previous highest political donation was £10m, which was left to the Conservative party in a will.
