UK AI minister says government will use advanced AI to bolster cyber defences
UK AI minister Kanishka Narayan is announcing stronger cyber defences, saying the government will use advanced AI and that AI firms must do more on safety.
Kanishka Narayan, the UK's AI minister, is announcing a strengthening of Britain's cyber defences. The BBC reports he said the government will use advanced AI to protect the country against cyber attacks.
The BBC's headline says he warned it is "likely" that the UK's cyber defences will be breached. The BBC's short report does not give further detail on that warning.
The Guardian reports he will call on companies building frontier AI systems to increase their safety efforts. He will say the government cannot leave the policing of AI models solely to the firms that make them, according to the Guardian. He will also argue that the UK needs to build more of its own AI infrastructure, the Guardian says.
The Guardian describes the remarks as ones he will deliver, and ties them to rising global concern about the dangers of AI.
