Andy Burnham is set to face criticism from Donald Trump over ministers' pledges to address warnings about artificial intelligence (AI) risks. Louise Haigh, de facto deputy prime minister, will speak at a TUC conference in Brighton, emphasizing the need for international cooperation on AI safety. In contrast, President Trump dismisses these concerns as a 'hoax,' comparing them to past climate change skepticism.

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.
