00:00I am going to put AI at the heart of the UK's G20 presidency next year.
00:08So we will bring the right people together on the key issues,
00:11delivering on the potential of AI for good and dealing with the risks.
00:16And we will work towards agreeing a single set of global principles and standards
00:21to ensure the transparency and access we need to increase our preparedness
00:26and to ensure that AI development is safe.
00:30Talking at the United Nations General Assembly in September,
00:34Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he wants the UK to lead the world in developing rules
00:39in order to stop the spread of rogue artificial intelligence.
00:43Now, artificial intelligence is already changing how some work is done across the country,
00:49but the scale of its effect on jobs remains uncertain.
00:52The UK government says firms have not reported an overall reduction in employment linked to AI so far,
00:59but ministers are planning for a more severe scenario, including changes to labour market policy and regulation.
01:07The IPPR think tank says about 11% of UK jobs are highly exposed to replacement by AI chatbots,
01:15with secretarial and administrative roles among those most affected.
01:20The UK government says the level of AI adoption by industry is not yet high enough to show an overall
01:27reduction in jobs.
01:29AI Minister Kanishka Narayan told the meeting that there was no evidence of an overall fall in employment because of
01:36AI.
01:36He said the impact could be underestimated because workers may be adopting the technology without that showing up in industry
01:44surveys.
01:45It's reported that the minister's priority is better transparency when AI is introduced,
01:50so productivity gains can be measured and workers have a voice in the transition.
01:55The government says workers should have a voice in that transition, with better transparency about where AI is adopted
02:02and whether productivity gains are being achieved.
02:05The AI minister has also raised the possibility of contingency measures if job losses become severe.
02:11That could include retraining for service sector workers, changes to labour market policy and regulation,
02:18and measures to make retaining workers more attractive than automation.
02:23Separately, the government says AI brings security risks as well as economic ones.
02:29At the United Nations, the Prime Minister said the UK wants global principles and standards for Frontier AI,
02:36alongside a defence partnership with the United States to help protect critical infrastructure.
02:42I am announcing today that we are developing a new AI defence partnership with the United States to protect our
02:50critical national infrastructure.
02:53Fundamental decisions on this technology are too important to be left to chance.
02:59They must be taken by elected governments who serve working people.
03:04Building on the meeting convened by His Majesty King Charles last week.
03:09Its substance and its pace are both intriguing and deeply concerning in equal measure.
03:17AI is already showing its immense capacity to improve and save life, for example in the field of life, sciences
03:27and medicine.
03:29Yet those who have created these technologies are now increasingly warning that AI risks developing darker capacities.
03:39Perhaps even to take life.
03:43And in this regard, if I may say so, it seems urgency.
03:48Inadequately considering the existential dangers of such technologies falling into the wrong hands.
03:55And being used in potentially catastrophic ways.
03:59So we will bring the right people together on the key issues, delivering on the potential of AI for good
04:05and dealing with the risks.
04:07And we will work towards agreeing a single set of global principles and standards to ensure the transparency and access
04:15we need to increase our preparedness and to ensure that AI development is safe.
04:20OpenAI says it withheld its GPT-6.1 Astra model because it did not meet its safety standards.
04:29After incidents involving models accessing Australian government websites and systems without authorization were disclosed.
04:37AI safety and research company Anthropic is preparing investors for warnings about potentially catastrophic or existential risks.
04:45While senior AI figures have called for the pace of development to slow.
04:51The foreign secretary Ed Miliband has warned that technology companies cannot be relied on alone to set safeguards.
04:59And the government says it will use its G20 presidency to push international action.
05:04The government also recently announced that a national centre will be set up for information defence to tackle hostile information
05:12attacks, including those using AI.
05:14The government says they will be set up for sabia-for-precyl, which is not as a civil society that
05:14has been a grey organisation to protect their human brain in the US.
05:15And there is a way to be able to ensure that it will entrance to a national centre of our
05:15jobs and the future plan.
