Bank of England governor calls for global cooperation on AI threats

Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey urged international coordination to address artificial intelligence risks, saying no country can seal itself off from the cross-border nature of digital systems.

• Bailey said governments need stronger coordinated testing for frontier AI models to ensure they are safe for wider circulation.
• Bailey stated that the United States cannot secure itself against cyber threats or build robust recovery plans without global cooperation.
• US President Donald Trump temporarily banned foreigners from using Anthropic's Claude Mythos AI model, though the ban was lifted weeks later.
• Demis Hassabis, co-founder of Google DeepMind, called for a US-led global AI watchdog to test advanced models and pause development if risks are too high.
