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.
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.
The UK is opting for Minority Report.
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
Hell, I've written part of one of the regs under title 26. That should give you a clue how poorly put together the whole of it is.
wouldn't make much sense to sign an agreement you are already in violation of.
Starmer would be better off doing exactly the opposite of everything Trump does.
Why did the UK refuse?
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?
Tradition. You can't go around breaking traditions, now can you, minister?
Perhaps due to the same reason UK avoided tariff threats.
Spineless leader. UK is unfortunately a lapdog in this special relationship.
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
