UK to strengthen cyber defences as minister calls for AI firms to increase safety efforts

Kanishka Narayan to say Britain cannot rely entirely on tech companies amid rising global concern over AI dangers

Companies building the most advanced AI systems must increase safety efforts, the UK’s AI minister will say, as he announces a strengthening of Britain’s cyber defences.

Kanishka Narayan will call on companies developing frontier AI to do more to make sure it is safe. He will say Britain cannot rely entirely on technology companies to police their own models and will argue the UK needs to build more of its own AI infrastructure.
