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.
What's the ball and the last one from?
From top-to-bottom:
-
Skynet from The Terminator
-
Joshua from WarGames
Yup, that's what i missed. Thanks!
Coulda added a picture of the facebook guy and no one would have noticed
UK still pretending to be a global power I see.
Sadly it is in one respect only: financial services.
And that's the only reason why they're interested; so the City (of London, not Greater London) has more freedom to invest into these AI start-ups and get their big payout when they grow large enough to move head office to the US.
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
wouldn't make much sense to sign an agreement you are already in violation of.

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.
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
