Dunno about the UK, but the US is going guns blazing towards Robocops.

Ironically, police probably think they'll be in charge of the robots, rather than the robots replacing them.

to ensure that the technology is "safe, secure and trustworthy."

None of the really iconic AIs are safe, secure or trustworthy.

All regulation of new technology is pointless because the law is written by people who don't understand it. And by "new technology" I mean anything invented after the year 1900

[–] nullPointer@programming.dev 3 points 6 hours ago

wouldn't make much sense to sign an agreement you are already in violation of.

UK still pretending to be a global power I see.

Between this and the asteroid scheduled to (maybe) hit Earth in 2032, I'm beginning to think that we're in for a rough time.

Starmer would be better off doing exactly the opposite of everything Trump does.

Why did the UK refuse?

[–] FarceOfWill@infosec.pub 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

In a brief statement, the UK government said it had not been able to add its name to it because of concerns about national security and "global governance."

No idea if thats a real reason or not.

Sounds like "we need to have guns if they have guns." Might be right in the short term, but at what future cost?

Ai regulation is a joke because the tech evolves faster than legislation. Esp when you have open source LLMs out there. Not to mention Meta pirating Terrabytes of textbooks to train their models
