Lib Dems: Govt has "failed to rise to the occasion" on AI

Responding to AI Minister Kanishka Narayan's speech on AI safety and stratergy, Liberal Democrat spokesperson for Science, Innovation and Technology, Victoria Collins MP, said:

We are at a dangerous cross roads and the Government has failed to rise to the occasion.

"Britain has a chance to step up to use our unique position to take a leading role to get world leaders around the table to coordinate on safety and cooperation.

We didn't leave the atomic bomb to a few billionaires to police themselves and AI cannot be the exception.

Liberal Democrats are calling for an immediate pause on the development of super intelligent AI, so we can develop a nuclear-style non-proliferation treaty, alongside establishing a UK-headquartered global safety agency. The Government must act now.
