And

what the UK is going to say or not say as a government is not going to determine what happens here.

Though it may play a role.

But I am just struck by how our politics and our political system is nowhere on this.

I have no idea whatsoever what Andy Burnham thinks about AI generally, let alone the last few days of AI safety questions.

I don't think that's going to be tenable by the end of this coming week.

So it was sort of you know i y you can take it either way whether it was elevation or not.

But yeah.

think that's essentially what's prompted this and in particular

AI systems deliberately, if you can use the word deliberately about non human actors, evading safety checks and breaking out essentially of the human constructed cells that have been

built to contain them.

And

You know, i I mean it's hard not to reach for this lame analogy, but it does sound like the sort of thing that ten years ago would be quite a fanciful, quite enjoyable block blaster and now it it is life.

And Sh Xi Jinping, we should just say, is going to the White House to visit to meet Donald Trump uh on a state visit in about ten days' time.

Generally I think AI was not expected to be at the forefront of the conversations there, but now you would assume that there'll be a lot of pressure.

for that to be a big item on the agenda.

So I think we'll spend a lot of time watching that and the developments there uh in ten or so days' time.

I was also just reading something in the New York Times before we recorded, where Barack Obama is telling Democrats, put this issue at the heart of your midterms campaign, the midterms elections taking place in November.

So you can see a world in which suddenly this is at the heart of American politics in a way that

you've seen some issues around the periphery, the building of data centres or whatever becoming quite political, but now actual AI development at the heart of American politics.
