Labour head of Commons tech group warns No 10 not to ignore AI concerns

Chi Onwurah urges government to bring forward AI safety bill instead of delaying it to curry favour with Donald Trump

Concerns about the safety of artificial intelligence are at risk of being ignored by ministers, the Labour head of the Commons technology committee has said, as the government delays regulating the industry to curry favour with Donald Trump.

Chi Onwurah, the chair of the cross-party committee, urged the government to bring forward the AI safety bill, which would require technology companies to hand over any large language models they build to UK regulators for testing.
