Mr Sunak said the UK’s regulation must evolve alongside the rapid advance of AI, with threats including to jobs and disinformation. A letter to The Times, signed by more than 60 education figures, says: “Schools are bewildered by the very fast rate of change in AI, and seek secure guidance and counsel on the best way forward. “We have no confidence that the large digital companies will be capable of regulating themselves in the interests of students, staff and schools. He told The Times a system similar to ChatGPT could form part of a super-intelligence machine which could not be controlled. “The stakes couldn’t be higher: if we don’t control our own civilisation, we have no say in whether we continue to exist.”
