Other technological disruptions, while displacing jobs, have ultimately led to more jobs through elasticity of demand.

Harnessing the benefits of GenAI requires more than access to technology. Productivity gains depend on investments in human capital and social protection. Ultimately, future labour market outcomes will depend less on exposure alone than on the policy...

We also need the Government to introduce a raft of measures to manage AI-driven changes to work. Those measures should include an employment levy on companies that replace large numbers of workers with AI, training subsidies for displaced workers, re...

We are also saying that social media companies, where a lot of AI-enabled fraud starts, should be financially liable for it.

That being said, we share the concerns raised by the Member, and will continue to study this issue, including consulting with practitioners, academia, and industry on whether there are any accountability gaps and if policy, regulatory and legal measu...

I just don’t think the developer is in a position to know exactly how their product is being used. Just as Microsoft isn’t held liable when a money launderer uses an Excel spreadsheet, AI companies shouldn’t be blamed when a criminal uses their techn...

Its proposals include banning deliberate superintelligence development, prohibiting dangerous capabilities, requiring safety demonstrations before deployment, and establishing licensing for advanced AI.

However, it is important to differentiate regulating applications (which we need) vs. regulating the technology (which is ill-advised).

In roughly one-third of the population, cholesterol is absorbed exceptionally effectively from the intestine due to a genetic predisposition, and they, in particular, should follow diets that are as low as possible in cholesterol.

Indeed, studies in humans have demonstrated that individuals could be hypo-responders or hyper-responders to dietary cholesterol.

Leveraging the convening power of the UN, we must start transforming artificial intelligence into a global public good that benefits all of humanity while ensuring safety by design and meaningful human oversight.

Recognising the critical position of cloud technologies in the European digital environment, we are aiming to provide the right regulatory conditions for the development of sovereign cloud and AI computing services in the EU.

Governments are on track to spend more than $1 trillion by 2030 chasing a sovereign stack, the full range of hardware and capabilities necessary to deploy and operate AI infrastructure. [...] In an interdependent system, the question shifts from how ...

Without government intervention, she worries AI will create a permanent underclass of workers.

In the future, it is true that there is a scenario in which there is mass unemployment. But it is also true that when there have been huge upheavals previously, labour markets have adapted, albeit over time, and sometimes it is that gap that makes th...

The likelihood is that AI will not so much replace jobs, as make certain tasks easier and quicker for some people.

We must be able to switch off those systems if we need to, but currently we cannot. That is clearly unacceptable and must change.

It needs only an optimization objective that treats shutdown as one more obstacle between the current state and the goal.

Secondly, the Government must mandate independent statutory testing for AI before its release, and a yellow card scheme that would be a national register where safety incidents, near misses and harms caused by AI were reported, tracked and acted on e...

I appreciate the intent behind the amendments and the shadow Minister’s position of understanding but not supporting them, which I share.

The convention is the world’s first international agreement on AI and considers it with regard to the Council’s remit of human rights, democracy and the rule of law, seeking to establish a clear international baseline that grounds AI in our shared va...

Voluntary cooperation between the two is the only AI security approach agile enough to meet challenges as they arise without stifling innovation.

They call for international red lines to prevent unacceptable AI risks, including prohibiting superintelligence development, until there is broad scientific consensus on how it can be done safely and with strong public buy-in.

The question that the noble Lord posed was: do we therefore go for a moratorium? That would be highly desirable, but I do not think that it will be possible in the short term.

For me, a one-sided moratorium which ties our hands behind our backs while the likes of North Korea and the al-Qaedas of the world crack on: no, I am afraid that that worries me even more.

However, there are dangers. We would be mad to ignore them because many of the same people who built this technology—people who have won Nobel Prizes and Turing Awards—are warning that AI poses an extinction risk to humanity.

So when people predict a high degree of existential risk from AGI, I don’t actually think “arguing back” on their chosen terms is the correct response. Radical agnosticism is the correct response, where all specific scenarios are pretty unlikely. Non...

The real challenge isn’t stopping an AI apocalypse — it’s crafting smart, sector-specific policies that keep technology aligned with human values. To avoid being a victim of AI, humans can, and should, put up focused guardrails.

Establish whistleblower protections drawn from the NSM on AI, ensuring personnel can report AI misuse, civil liberties concerns, and safety violations without fear of reprisal, with anonymous and confidential reporting procedures.

Connecticut already has strong whistleblower laws that protect employees from retaliation. [...] creating a separate, AI-specific whistleblower regime could lead to confusion, duplication, and unintended consequences for employers operating in highly...

In systems that shape our defence, policing, health service and democratic decision-making, sovereignty must be the default, with onshore audit and assurance, procurement that builds domestic capability, control over strategic pinch-points and the ul...

Repeated third-party audits, extensive reporting, and public disclosures may be manageable for large organizations, but for small and mid-sized employers — which make up most New York workplaces — these costs could be prohibitive.

I urge the Minister to formally acknowledge extinction risk from superintelligent AI as a national security priority and to lead on international efforts to prohibit superintelligence development.
