That was the feedback that I got when I wrote this story.
But what I would also say is this kind of long history that the UK has of of AI safety research has kind of
now got a Silicon Valley gloss on it though.
So to go back ancient terms in in AI, 2023, was when Rishi Sunak, who was then Prime Minister about twelve Prime Ministers ago, so you might not remember that either.
Um he had this AI Safety Summit.
It was the first one that had happened.
And again that was kind of putting forward the UK's pedigree on AI safety research.
But since then obviously Trump has come in and that's put a a very different slant on the kinds of things that people are thinking about when they think about AI safety.
And it's now very much about security.
It's about cybersecurity.
It's about not developing bioweapons.
It's about kind of national security.
Like how can we stop these frontier models from doing really dangerous things?
And that's not really what are the only impacts of these models, as we as everyday people who use them know, you know, there are psychological potential issues, there have been many, many cases of AI psychosis, there's how it's affecting education, the justice system.
exacerbating inequality and all of those things kind of come under this idea of ethical AI or safety in AI and that's not what's being tackled.
So it's kind of great that we have somewhere that is taking AI safety seriously and is kind of
flourishing in that way.
But I would say it's not doing the whole job.
We're kind of we've got this kind of Silicon Valley idea of what AI safety should be about.
It seems that very much because of the geopolitical situation that we're in, it seems like that is the direction we're gonna stay in.
