UK government rejects 'kill switch' idea for dangerous AI
(opens the publisher’s site)Over 70 UK MPs and peers have urged the government to back a bill banning artificial superintelligence, which ministers rejected along with an emergency kill-switch mechanism.
- Labour MP Alex Sobel tabled the bill in the Commons on Tuesday, backed by more than 70 MPs and peers spanning the main parties.
- The Cabinet Office rejected both the bill and the kill-switch idea, saying the UK "cannot simply turn AI off" in an emergency.
- Evan Hubinger, a senior employee at Anthropic, said he believed the technology has a greater than 10% chance of wiping out humanity.
- Anthropic said it identified five cases in which its models were used in attempts to support biological weapons development.
