The US is widely seen as the global leader in artificial intelligence, thanks to companies like OpenAI, Google, and Meta. But the US government says it needs help from other nations to manage the risks posed by AI technology.

At an international summit on AI Safety in Seoul on Tuesday, the US delivered a message from Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo announcing that a global network of AI safety institutes spanning the US, UK, Japan, Canada, and other allies will collaborate to contain the technology’s risks. She also urged other countries to join up.

“Recent advances in AI carry exciting, life-changing potential for our society, but only if we do the hard work to mitigate the very real dangers,” Secretary Raimondo said in a statement released ahead of the announcement. “It is paramount that we get this right and that we do so in concert with our partners around the world to ensure the rules of the road on AI are written by societies that uphold human rights, safety, and trust.”

The US government has previously said advances in AI create national security risks, including the potential to automate or accelerate the development of bioweapons or to enable more damaging cyberattacks on critical infrastructure.

One challenge for the US, alluded to in Raimondo’s statement, is that some national governments may not be eager to fall in line with its approach to AI. She said the US, the UK, Japan, Canada, Singapore, and the European AI Office would work together as the founding members of a “global network of AI safety institutes.”

The Commerce Department declined to comment on whether China had been invited to join the new AI safety network. Fears that China will use advanced AI to empower its military or threaten the US led first the Trump administration and now the Biden administration to roll out a series of restrictions on Chinese access to key technology.

The US and China have at least opened a line of communication. A meeting between President Biden and Chinese president Xi Jinping in November saw the two superpowers agree to hold talks on AI risks and safety. Representatives from the nations met in Switzerland last week to hold the first round of discussions.

The Commerce Department said that representatives of the new global AI safety network’s members will meet in San Francisco later this year. A blueprint issued by the agency says that the network will work together to develop and agree upon methodologies and tools for evaluating AI models and ways to mitigate the risks of AI. “We hope to help develop the science and practices that underpin future arrangements for international AI governance,” the document says. A commerce department spokesperson said that the network would help nations tap into talent, experiment more quickly, and agree on AI standards.

The Seoul summit on AI safety this week is cohosted by the UK government, which convened the first major international meeting on the topic last November. That summit culminated in more than 28 countries including the US, members of the EU, and China signing a declaration warning that artificial intelligence is advancing with such speed and uncertainty that it could cause “serious, even catastrophic, harm.”

Amid rapid deployment of generative AI systems like ChatGPT last year, some prominent researchers and tech leaders began to speak more loudly about the potential for AI algorithms to become difficult to control and perhaps even a threat to humanity. Talk of the most far-off threats has since faded, but policymakers around the world are concerned about more immediate problems, such as the potential for generative AI tools like ChatGPT to spread disinformation and interfere with elections. In January, some voters in New Hampshire received robocalls using an AI-generated fake of Joe Biden’s voice.

Last October, President Biden issued a wide-ranging executive order to address the potential and pitfalls of fast-moving leaps in AI most evident with the startling abilities of ChatGPT. The Commerce Department was ordered to work on a number of initiatives to develop AI safety standards and also to develop a plan for global “engagement on promoting and developing AI standards.”

Biden’s executive order also required the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, which is part of the Commerce Department, to establish a US AI Safety Institute to systematically test AI models to understand how they could be misused and how they might behave.

Stephen Salter, who has died aged 85, was the inventor of the Salter’s Duck, a wave-power device that was the first of its kind and promised to provide a new source of renewable energy for the world – until it was effectively killed off by the nuclear industry.

In 1982, after eight years of development under Salter’s direction at Edinburgh University, the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) was asked by the government to see if the duck might be a cost-effective way of making large quantities of electricity. To the great surprise of Salter, and others, the UKAEA came to the conclusion that it was uneconomic, and that no further government funding should be given to the project.

A decade later it emerged that thanks to a misplaced decimal point, the review had made Salter’s duck look 10 times more expensive than the experiments showed it was likely to be. The UKAEA claimed this was just a mistake, but Salter, who had never been allowed to see the results of the secret evaluation, put it another way: asking the nuclear industry to evaluate an alternative source of energy was like putting King Herod in charge of a children’s home, he suggested.

By then, however, Salter had become interested in other projects, and as a result his duck has never been tested at sea – although wave-power devices using some of his technology are now in development in the Orkneys and off the coast of Portugal.

The prototype ducks, developed in a multidirectional wave tank of Salter’s invention, are now in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, where there are a number of other exhibits with links to him, including the only remaining Black Knight rocket, a UK ballistic missile from the 1950s, and Freddy the Robot, from the 60s, the first machine to have artificial intelligence that could “see” and had a sense of touch. He also invented the Dervish, a low-cost method of clearing landmines, by using a revolving three-wheeled mechanism with a constantly changing path.

Perhaps the range of those projects sums up Salter’s mind better than anything else. Colleagues who worked with him said that while other scientists concentrated for years on one subject to the exclusion of all others, Salter was fascinated by new problems.

Although it was the oil shock of 1973 that first stimulated his interest in renewable energy, he later became one of the first scientists to realise the dangers of climate change. Doubting that the slow pace of cutting fossil-fuel use would be enough to save the planet from dangerous overheating, at the turn of the 21st century he set up a scheme to develop marine cloud brightening – an idea to produce more and brighter clouds in the middle of the oceans in order to reflect sunlight back into space, thereby keeping the oceans cooler and reducing sea-level rise.

He designed a project to build a large number of automated ships spraying aerosols from sea water into the atmosphere to create and brighten clouds in the middle of the world’s oceans and – having made a considerable fortune by selling some of his inventions – was able to set up the Lothian School of Technology just outside Edinburgh for £2.4m. The centre provides premises for up to 60 of his students to work on inventions and develop them commercially beyond their time at university.

Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Stephen was the son of British parents who had emigrated there, Rachel (nee Floyd) and Willoughby de Carle Salter. His father joined the Royal Navy as a meteorologist during the second world war and afterwards the family moved to Britain, where Willoughby became head of a prep school in which Rachel also taught. Stephen attended two boarding schools and then Framlingham college in Suffolk.

By that time he was designing, building and flying model aeroplanes, and his ambition was to take an engineering degree at Cambridge University. But he failed to get good enough grades, instead becoming an apprentice at Saunders-Roe, an Isle of Wight aero- and marine-engineering company, where he was involved in the Black Knight rocket project. After studying at night classes he was finally accepted at Cambridge to study natural sciences including metallurgy.

He moved to Edinburgh University in 1967, aged 29, to become a research fellow working on artificial intelligence in robots. Within six years he was also a lecturer and had begun his work on wave energy. In 1984 he became professor of engineering design.

Perhaps Salter’s left-leaning politics and his willingness to take on the London establishment prevented him from being showered with the honours he deserved, but he was elected to a fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1991, made MBE in 2004, and inducted into the Scottish Engineering Hall of Fame in 2021. He never stopped working, becoming an emeritus professor at retirement age and continuing to research, advise companies and refine his inventions until the end.

He married Margaret Donaldson, a professor of development psychology at Edinburgh University, in 1973. She died in 2020. He is survived by his younger brother, Edmund.

Secret UFO programmes in the US. 1,000-year-old alien “mummies” in Mexico. In 2023, UFOs are headline news again. As the US government opens its formerly secret UFO files and truthers put the pressure on, a new generation of British sky searchers are mobilising their own search of the great unknown. Is it time we took them seriously?

As July became August and the rain continued to fall, unusual letters started landing on British MPs’ desks. “Dear,” they began – as letters so often do, before continuing in a way that letters often don’t – “I am deeply concerned.” Over the course of 21 paragraphs, the missives expressed distress “about the UK government’s outwardly lacklustre response” to “UAP”, three initials that don’t mean much to many of us. UAP are “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena”. You and I know them better as UFOs.

In total, almost 1,800 of the letters have been sent to unsuspecting recipients through the UAP Disclosure Campaign, run by James Green, a 47-year-old software engineer from Wiltshire, who has been encouraging people to send messages to their MPs through an automated form on his website.

In late July, as the letters were arriving across Britain, a former US intelligence officer, David Grusch, told a congressional hearing in Washington DC that “non-human biologics” had recovered from UFO crash sites by the US Department of Defense in a “a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse-engineering programme.” The US government, Grusch claimed, was hiding intact alien craft. While the Pentagon denied Grusch’s account, it has spent the last three years investigating UFOs, having established a “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force” in August 2020. This September, NASA appointed a former Pentagon official as head of its own UFO research team.

But here in the UK, the responses to letters requesting more information from officials have been mixed. “I’m afraid you lost me after the first two paragraphs,” replied Rob Roberts, the independent MP for Delyn. Most politicians – including the prime minister – wrote some variation of the same thing. The MOD did have a UFO investigations desk, they said, but it closed in 2009 after being deemed unnecessary. In its 50 years, the desk found no evidence that UFOs were a threat to the UK.

The BBC is threatening to take legal action against an artificial intelligence (AI) firm whose chatbot the corporation says is reproducing BBC content "verbatim" without its permission.The BBC has written to Perplexity, which is based in the US, demanding it immediately stops using BBC content, deletes any it holds, and proposes financial compensation for the material it has already used.It is the first time that the BBC - one of the world's largest news organisations - has taken such action against an AI company.In a statement, Perplexity said: "The BBC's claims are just one more part of the overwhelming evidence that the BBC will do anything to preserve Google's illegal monopoly."It did not explain what it believed the relevance of Google was to the BBC's position, or offer any further comment.The BBC's legal threat has been made in a letter to Perplexity's boss Aravind Srinivas."This constitutes copyright infringement in the UK and breach of the BBC's terms of use," the letter says.The BBC also cited its research published earlier this year that found four popular AI chatbots - including Perplexity AI - were inaccurately summarising news stories, including some BBC content.Pointing to findings of significant issues with representation of BBC content in some Perplexity AI responses analysed, it said such output fell short of BBC Editorial Guidelines around the provision of impartial and accurate news."It is therefore highly damaging to the BBC, injuring the BBC's reputation with audiences - including UK licence fee payers who fund the BBC - and undermining their trust in the BBC," it added.Web scraping scrutinyChatbots and image generators that can generate content response to simple text or voice prompts in seconds have swelled in popularity since OpenAI launched ChatGPT in late 2022.But their rapid growth and improving capabilities has prompted questions about their use of existing material without permission.Much of the material used to develop generative AI models has been pulled from a massive range of web sources using bots and crawlers, which automatically extract site data. The rise in this activity, known as web scraping, recently prompted British media publishers to join calls by creatives for the UK government to uphold protections around copyrighted content.In response to the BBC's letter, the Professional Publishers Association (PPA) - which represents over 300 media brands - said it was "deeply concerned that AI platforms are currently failing to uphold UK copyright law." It said bots were being used to "illegally scrape publishers' content to train their models without permission or payment."It added: "This practice directly threatens the UK's £4.4 billion publishing industry and the 55,000 people it employs."Many organisations, including the BBC, use a file called "robots.txt" in their website code to try to block bots and automated tools from extracting data en masse for AI.It instructs bots and web crawlers to not access certain pages and material, where present.But compliance with the directive remains voluntary and, according to some reports, bots do not always respect it.The BBC said in its letter that while it disallowed two of Perplexity's crawlers, the company "is clearly not respecting robots.txt".Mr Srinivas denied accusations that its crawlers ignored robots.txt instructions in an interview with Fast Company last June.Perplexity also says that because it does not build foundation models, it does not use website content for AI model pre-training.'Answer engine'The company's AI chatbot has become a popular destination for people looking for answers to common or complex questions, describing itself as an "answer engine".It says on its website that it does this by "searching the web, identifying trusted sources and synthesising information into clear, up-to-date responses".It also advises users to double check responses for accuracy - a common caveat accompanying AI chatbots, which can be known to state false information in

The Rise of Humane AI Startups: Ethics Meets Innovation

As artificial intelligence becomes more ingrained in everyday life, a new wave of startups is emerging to challenge the status quo, prioritizing ethical principles alongside technological progress. These companies, often dubbed "humane AI startups," are pioneering ways to create intelligent systems that are transparent, fair, and aligned with human values. In 2025, this movement is not just a trend—it's becoming a business imperative.

Why Humane AI Matters

The widespread deployment of AI has brought concerns around bias, privacy, manipulation, and automation-driven job loss. In response, investors, regulators, and consumers are demanding systems that prioritize people, not just profits. Humane AI startups aim to build trust by designing systems that protect individual rights, foster inclusivity, and support societal well-being.

Key Characteristics of Humane AI Startups

Transparency by Design

These startups are building explainable AI models that allow users to understand how decisions are made. From healthcare diagnostics to credit scoring, transparency is becoming a competitive advantage.

2. Bias Mitigation

They employ techniques to detect and reduce algorithmic bias—often training models on diverse datasets and continuously auditing outcomes to ensure fairness across demographics.

3. Privacy-First Architecture

With growing concerns over surveillance and data misuse, humane AI startups use techniques like federated learning, differential privacy, and decentralized storage to give users control over their data.

4. Human-in-the-Loop Systems

A specially adapted Wayve-powered autonomous vehicle on the streets of LondonUber will trial robotaxis - autonomous cars with no human safety driver at the wheel - in London next spring.The ride-hailing app will work with the UK artificial intelligence (AI) firm Wayve, which has been testing out the technology on the city's streets with human oversight, in line with current legislation.The announcement comes after the UK government changed its rules about the driverless cars once again.It was originally aiming for the tech to come to British roads in 2026, then the date was changed to the second half of 2027.But it now says it is introducing an accelerated framework for small autonomous "bus and taxi like" commercial services to get them underway earlier.It is not yet clear whether the vehicles in Uber's trial will be available for customers to use - the firm says it is still working out the details. It has previously said it intends to add them as a regular option via its UK app as soon as legislation allows.The Department for Transport says the industry could create 38,000 jobs and add £42bn to the UK economy by 2035.But speaking to the BBC last month, GMB national secretary Andy Prendergast said the "significant social implications" driverless cars and taxis could have - including on unemployment - should also be fully considered.Uber launched a robotaxi service in Austin, Texas in March and said its driverless vehicles could work for 20 hours per day, seven days per week. Customers there can choose whether to take a robotaxi if there is one available, with no difference in fare. Tesla is planning to launch a rival service in the same city in June.Fully driverless cars have done millions of miles on public roads in other countries too, including China, UAE and Singapore, but whether they are more or less safe than human-driven ones is still being investigated.Numerous studies suggest automated vehicles are less accident-prone than human drivers, based on US data.But there have been a number of incidents involving robotaxis in the countries where they operate, ranging from road accidents to passengers being locked in.And one service in San Francisco was cancelled after a series of malfunctions.In May I took a ride in a car fitted out with Wayve's autonomous kit across central London. We had a human safety driver at the wheel but he did not have to use the controls once during our 30 minute journey.The car handled every potential hazard which appeared in the busy streets including congestion, temporary traffic lights, cyclists and, at one point, a pedestrian using crutches in the middle of the road.The Ford Mach-e was fitted with sensors and a radar, and an AI-powered system controlled the vehicle's responses in real time. If anything it was a lot more cautious than a human driver, which made for a reassuringly uneventful trip.Sign up for our Tech Decoded newsletter to follow the world's top tech stories and trends.
