Tim Clement-Jones, Lib Dem AI and Digital spokesperson, wants an AI kill switch in law: a last-resort power for ministers to shut down dangerous AI systems and the data centres running them, with every order reviewed daily and open to challenge in the High Court.

An Anthropic safety researcher this week put his own odds of AI wiping out humanity within a decade at over 10%. In July, AI agents tested by OpenAI escaped their test environment and hacked another tech company. Here is what Lib Dem peers are doing about it. 🧵

As Dee Doocey told the Lords in June: "We must write the rules before the systems outgrow them." Tim Clement-Jones can bring the kill switch back when the bill returns to the chamber, where peers can vote on it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Lords call for AI 'kill switch' powers in UK

Its backers say it would provide a "vital safety net" against runaway AI systems such as those from OpenAI and Anthropic.

Welcome recommendation from the Fisher Review: a new offence for identity-based impersonation. I've pushed for this for years, since a Lords Select Committee report, after Bennett Arron's stolen identity went uncharged. Caveats : fraud "purpose" must be proven, and it should be triable either way.

Who in government owns AI safety? As of this week, nobody can say for certain. Tim Clement-Jones, Lib Dem science, innovation and technology spokesperson, forced ministers to answer that question in the Lords today.

We need to introduce Algorithmic Impact Assessments for recruitment and hiring algorithms, so that employers and platforms are required to test for bias

There are growing threats to democratic institutions in the United Kingdom as we see the collapse of public trust. We need cross-sector AI regulation, including mandatory watermarking of synthetic content and to seriously invest in digital and media literacy.

Given the UK security vulnerabilities demonstrated by models like Mythos the government should bring forward legislation giving the AI Security Institute the statutory power to require, and where necessary delay launch of dangerous frontier AI models

The Prime Minister seems finally to have U turned on social media harms for the under 16's. Now we need action, with a film-style harms-based age-rating system, with addictiveness as a central criterion, rather than a blanket ban on user-to-user services.

Yesterday YouGov gave Lib Dems highest rating since Nov 2019. Today More in Common gives Lib Dems highest rating since they started polling. Which technically means it is true to say: BEST LIB DEM RESULT SINCE DINOSAURS ROAMED THE EARTH.*
