AI could give terrorists access to bioweapons or generate new pathogens if guardrails on the technology fail, the head of MI5 has said.
In a speech at Thames House on Tuesday, Sir Ken McCallum gave his annual update on terror threats facing the UK.
The security service chief said among the potential ways that humans could misuse AI, bioweapons are a key concern.
Also on the programme:
– The ongoing conflict in Ukraine and also the Middle East will continue to hit economies across the world – including the UK.
– An emergency 911 call has revealed how help was delayed for Christa Pike after her execution failed.
-The head of the new Independent Football Regulator has told ITV News he will quit if he comes under political interference over the future of Manchester City.
– And the "Robo Peer" whose voice is being heard for the first time in the House of Lords thanks to AI.
Baroness Jane Campbell lives with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, and for years her assistant has read her speeches in Parliament.
But thanks to Artificial Intelligence, Baroness Campbell can now address Peers with a version of her own voice.
