Labour will toughen up AI regulation, Starmer says

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:39:00 GMT

LONDON — A Labour government would depart from the government’s AI strategy and bring in stronger regulation, Labour Leader Keir Starmer said on Tuesday.The government outlined a “pro-innovation” approach to AI regulation in March, which declined to set up a standalone AI regulator and instead puts responsibility for overseeing the technology in the hands of existing regulators.But speaking at London Tech Week on Tuesday morning, Starmer said a Labour government would introduce “an overarching regulatory framework” that would be “stronger” than the government’s approach. “We are nowhere near where we need to be on the question of regulation,” he said. The sector would welcome the certainty greater regulation would provide, he added.Starmer said he was struck by the pace of development in AI, describing how his 14-year old son gives him a “masterclass” on ChatGPT everyday. He said it could have a transformative impact, helping the NHS diagnose illnesses and enabling public ...

Unsettled Pattern

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:39:00 GMT

After some showers and storms rolled through last night, most of the rain tapers off by the morning commute, however it’ll be a damp start with lots of clouds and areas of fog. It’s a mild and muggy start to the day too with temps in the 60s. Improvements to the clouds and fog are slow through mid morning, but I do expect some breaks of sun to develop, especially inland today, where temps jump well into the 70s. Along the coast, especially near Boston, points north, clouds are tough to break and with an onshore flow, highs hold in the 60s to near 70. Large portions of the day are dry, but a few hit or miss showers will pop up mid to late afternoon. Tomorrow, the highest risk of storms is mid to late afternoon across central Mass and late-day/evening across eastern Mass. A few of those storms could be strong too with gusty winds and hail. Thursday, the shower chance is limited to isolated in the afternoon, then becomes more widespread Friday afternoon and Saturday. With ...
