MI5 looking at potential risk from out-of-control AI
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"British spies have begun work on tackling the potential risk posed by rogue artificial intelligence (AI) systems, the head of MI5 said. Sir Ken McCallum said it would be reckless to ignore the potential for AI to cause harm. In a speech at the Security Service's Thames House headquarters, he insisted he was not forecasting Hollywood movie scenarios but the intelligence agencies had to consider the risks."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues like reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, emphasizing reporting without paywalls and sending journalists to interview both sides. The outlet asserts that quality journalism should be available to everyone and paid by those who can afford it. British security services have begun addressing risks from rogue artificial intelligence. MI5 Director Sir Ken McCallum warned against ignoring AI's potential to cause harm, described himself as a tech optimist, and urged intelligence agencies including MI5, GCHQ and the AI Security Institute to consider future autonomous systems that may evade human oversight.
