Is the UK defenceless against 'killer' AI?

Could AI really 'kill us all' by the end of the decade?

That was the claim of a resigning researcher at AI giant Anthropic, which has caught the world's attention.

Jacob Coxon said Anthropic, the company behind AI assistant Claude, was "racing straight to self-improving superintelligence" and "gambling" with the lives of humanity as a result.

So are the explosive claims and others like it genuine or just a hyperbolic marketing strategy?

On Talking Politics, Tom Bradby and Robert Peston discuss that and what power the UK government has to force regulation on a global industry dominated by the US and China.

Having followed the technology's development and its political implications closely for many years, Robert also explains what the realistic threats are and why both the US and China have been reluctant to regulate until now.
