UK government switches strategy on AI regulation in hope of better ties with new US administration
Sir Keir Starmer is seeking to strengthen diplomatic ties with Donald Trump’s administration by shifting the UK’s focus on artificial intelligence towards security co-operation rather than a “woke” emphasis on safety concerns. Tech secretary Peter Kyle announced on Friday that the UK’s AI Safety Institute, established just 15 months ago, would be renamed the AI Security Institute.
At the AI summit, people briefed on the US decision not to sign the joint communique said it did not make a clear enough distinction between use of the technology by democratic and authoritarian regimes — and pointed to the fact that China was a signatory. One Labour MP described the UK’s decision not to sign the declaration as a “low-cost way to send a clear geopolitical signal”, adding that they believed it was “exactly the right move”.
