UK Minister Warns AI Poses Major Security Risks Without Safeguards
Louise Haigh tells TUC Congress that artificial intelligence could threaten national security unless proper guardrails are put in place
A senior UK government minister has warned that artificial intelligence poses significant risks to national security if it is not properly regulated, according to a report by BBC Politics.
Louise Haigh, described in the report as First Secretary of State, raised the concerns during a speech at the Trades Union Congress (TUC) Congress, the BBC said.
According to the BBC, Haigh addressed growing worries over AI safety, though the outlet's report did not provide further detail on the specific measures or guardrails she proposed.
The BBC report did not elaborate on additional remarks made during the speech or responses from other officials, unions or industry representatives.
EGazette has sought to verify further details from the original BBC report and will provide additional context as it becomes available.
