Louise Haigh, a senior UK minister, will address concerns about artificial intelligence risks at the TUC annual congress in Brighton. She plans to emphasize the potential benefits of AI while also acknowledging the need for international cooperation to manage its dangers and ensure public safety. Meanwhile, Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds acknowledged public worries but asserted that the UK’s safeguards are robust. In contrast, US President Trump dismissed AI risks as a hoax, advocating for minimal government intervention in favor of strong presidential leadership.

Story summary
On Tuesday at the TUC conference in Brighton, UK Labour's first secretary Louise Haigh warned that the government must heed warnings from AI experts regarding potential threats. She emphasized the need for international cooperation to ensure public safety and national security while acknowledging AI's benefits, such as transforming public services and boosting business growth. Researchers from Anthropic, among others like OpenAI and Google DeepMind, have raised concerns about the risks posed by rapid AI development, including a 10% chance of super-intelligent AI wiping out humanity within this decade. Haigh’s stance contrasts with US President Donald Trump's dismissal of AI threats as a "hoax," highlighting differing global approaches to regulating emerging technology.

In the US, Mr Trump has dismissed AI fears as a “hoax” despite leading players in the industry ringing the alarm bell about the dangers from the rapid growth in the capability of the technology.
asserted
players → dismiss → technology
He is worried that any slowdown in US progress will hand an advantage to Chinese firms and pushed back against calls by tech leaders such as Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and SpaceXAI’s Elon Musk to have greater government oversight of AI.
asserted
slowdown → worry → AI
Writing on his Truth Social platform, Mr Trump said: “The only control or “guardrails” that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!”
