From @frankhersey.bsky.social, on what he saw in Paris: "US Vice President JD Vance summed it up in his speech: 'I'm not here this morning to talk about AI safety, which was the title of the conference a couple of years ago. I'm here to talk about AI opportunity.'"

Big tech looks set for an easier ride in the UK as Ofcom is going to be “pragmatic” about enforcement of the Online Safety Act’s new illegal harms codes. And “understanding” of their technical difficulties

For fans of the AI Safety Summit series, the next one, hosted by France in February, seems somewhat hijacked by the European Commission.

"Think of today’s AI search engines as a sandwich with fresh bread but stale filling."

Absolutely zero mention of AI in the Lords' debate on increasing productivity in the UK economy today...
