UK Minister Warns AI Poses 'Huge Risks' to National Security Without Stronger Safeguards

UK First Secretary of State Louise Haigh warned at the TUC congress that AI poses significant risks to national security and society unless proper protections are established. She urged the government to heed warnings from AI developers and said the UK is ready to work with international partners to prioritize public safety and national security. Her comments follow growing concern among AI industry figures about existential risks and the need for slower, more closely monitored AI development.
