Conservative member of the UK House of Lords; supports strong AI safety monitoring, alignment checks, and kill-switch research.
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.
