UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham says Britain will use G20 presidency to seek global AI safety rules

At the United Nations General Assembly, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said AI safety must be handled by governments and announced that the UK would use its G20 presidency to push for global AI principles. He faced criticism for not signing a Norwegian and Finnish-led initiative. US President Donald Trump rejected global AI controls, saying the US will encourage AI development. Tech companies Meta, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic have been called to give evidence to UK MPs on AI safety testing.
