10 Feb: UK Minister Peter Kyle warns over China's AI role, saying the AI race must be led by 'western, liberal, democratic' countries. 11 Feb: UK and US refuse to sign international summit AI declaration, but China signs. Something doesn't add up, does it?

Deceitful nonsense from the Home Secretary. Thousands of people saw that video and didn't start murdering little girls. Cooper (and Starmer) are merely trying to deflect attention away from the systemic failure of the Prevent programme and all the Agencies involved. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

UK's #OnlineSafetyAct has claimed its first scalp. Some UK ISPs are now blocking a suicide forum (US-based, I understand) and, after 'contact' by Ofcom, the forum has removed access to new UK users. It's a grubby compromise deal, but the Secretary of State has her political victory soundbite.
