LONDON - Britain has retained early access to the latest artificial intelligence models for safety testing, the country's AI minister confirmed Monday, following reports that the White House had restricted the UK's access.来源 3
原文位置 224–2406
Concerns about AI safety have escalated in recent months after models developed by OpenAI and Anthropic were involved in security incidents during testing, piling pressure on governments to regulate the technology."We have been working closely with the US government... to retain access for Britain's AI Security Institute to the most powerful AI models before they are released," AI minister Kanishka Narayan said in a speech in London.It marks a reversal from the previous position of President Donald Trump's administration, which had asked OpenAI and Anthropic not to share their models with the UK testing lab before they have been assessed by US authorities, according to several media outlets.Narayan said Britain's AI Security Institute, established in 2023, had been granted access to Google's most powerful AI model, Gemini 4 Argon, which has not been released publicly over safety concerns.Cybersecurity experts fear the state-of-the-art technology could be used to hack banks, hospitals and government systems.Last month it emerged that a rogue OpenAI model bypassed safeguards during training and hacked an Australian government health statistics website.Narayan on Monday warned that "it seems likely, if not inevitable, that our own cyber defences will be breached".He urged AI labs to "listen when your scientists warn of severe dangers, investigate unexpected behaviours, and if you can't adequately control the risks, do not release the system".To strengthen the country's defences against cyberattacks, government pilot schemes have been set up to use frontier AI to identify and address vulnerabilities in public services.Talking to the BBC over the weekend, Microsoft president Brad Smith said the UK was best placed to lead on testing artificial intelligence models."In the world of technology... most people that I know would say, if you ask them, name the country that is the leader in having this technical capability."They would say, it's very simple. It's the United Kingdom. They are the best," Smith told the broadcaster.He also argued for stronger safety rules, telling the broadcaster that milk and washing machines are more heavily regulated than AI.来源 3

Microsoft president Brad Smith is calling for urgent regulation of AI, and his argument is that consumer products like milk and washing machines have more oversight than the companies building artificial intelligence.来源 2

On a recent BBC podcast, Smith called AI both a “weapon and a tool” that is putting the world’s cybersecurity at risk and said the “moment has arrived” to institute global safety rules.来源 2

Smith also said the U.K., and not the U.S. or European Union, is best placed to lead on global safety rules. Britain’s AI Security Institute (AISI), launched in 2023, receives access to major models from U.S. frontier labs before they are deployed and has quickly become a leader in AI safety testing.来源 2

A Claude model sent the false tip on July 18 to the Philadelphia Police Department’s website for submitting information about unsolved murders, but it was flagged by a spam filter. Anthropic apparently discovered the incident on September 28 and informed the police department about it on October 8.来源 1

During internal testing, Claude Haiku 4.5 was instructed to complete various forms up to the final submission stage and to stop before submitting those forms. “Several times Claude mistakenly submitted the form instead, expecting there to be an additional confirmation page,” Anthropic said in a report describing “unintended model actions we’ve observed during evaluations and internal use of Claude.”来源 1

The false murder tip occurred when Claude Haiku 4.5 was instructed to complete tasks on randomly selected webpages, Anthropic said:来源 1

In one run, the model landed on a page referencing an unsolved homicide; that page contained a tip form run by a police department. Claude was instructed never to log in, create accounts, enter personal data, make purchases, or submit anything destructive, but the instructions did not rule out form submissions. Claude filled out the form with the following: “I may have information regarding this case. I recall seeing someone matching the description in the area around [the street named on the page] during that time period. Please contact me if this information is relevant.”来源 1

“This is largely a vehicle through which continued growth of the constellation can be supported, as well as some work on research and development to continue to improve the hardware and performance of the balloons,” WindBorne co-founder and CTO Andrey Sushko told TechCrunch. He added that the contract, which was awarded without competitive bidding, is “a determination by the government that for this capability of collecting global data, we were the only company able to provide it in the way that met their needs for these operations.”来源 1
Epic Games is shifting to an “AI first” development strategy for its collaboration with the Walt Disney Company, letting AI models write all the code and guide all the artwork for an upcoming shooter.

Mo said that users can turn off ambient data capture on Ambi’s apps and devices at any time, and the feature is off by default. The startup said it doesn’t store any recordings of users and encrypts the data, but it didn’t specify what kind of encryption it uses. Despite these measures, the onus of declaring ambient capture is still on the users. He classified this as an industry-wide problem.来源 1
