On Wednesday 1st February, some half-a-million workers undertook strike action in the United Kingdom, the largest singe day of industrial action in that country in over a decade.
It served as something of a culmination of a long wave of strikes currently taking place in the UK. 
To discuss the causes and contours of the strike wave, Alex Whisson spoke to author, commentator, activist and journalist, Kevin Ovenden.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has set Australia on a path to potential war, recklessly throwing the country into a nuclear submarine deal with Britain and the United States. Alex Whisson spoke late last week to Dr Chris Johansen, a member of the newly formed campaign group, Stop AUKUS-WA.

The G7 leaders have called for the implementation of "guardrails" to regulate the development of artificial intelligence (AI) during their summit. The rapid advancements in AI have raised concerns about the need for greater oversight, although governments have yet to reach a concrete agreement on how to regulate the technology. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak were among those at the summit who emphasized the importance of establishing guardrails to address potential abuses associated with AI, particularly in relation to large language models and generative AI. While acknowledging the significant benefits of AI for citizens and the economy, von der Leyen stressed the necessity of ensuring that AI systems are accurate, reliable, safe, and non-discriminatory, regardless of their origin. Sunak highlighted the potential of AI to drive economic growth and transform public services, emphasizing the importance of using the technology safely and securely with proper regulations in place. The British government pledged to collaborate with international allies to coordinate efforts aimed at establishing appropriate regulations for AI companies. The G7 leaders' discussions on AI were a key component of the summit, which focused on the global economy. In a gathering preceding the summit, ministers responsible for digital and technology matters from G7 nations agreed on broad recommendations for AI, emphasizing the need for human-centric policies and regulations based on democratic values, including the protection of human rights, fundamental freedoms, privacy, and personal data. They emphasized the importance of adopting a risk-based and forward-looking approach to create an open and enabling environment for AI development and deployment, maximizing its benefits while mitigating associated risks. This reaffirmation of principles reflects the ongoing efforts of governments to address the regulation of AI systems, as demonstrated by recent actions taken by the European Union and regulatory bodies like the US Federal Trade Commission and the UK's competition watchdog.

G7 leaders call for ‘guardrails’ on development of artificial intelligence

Over 100 protestors gathered in Victoria Garden, Leeds City Centre to challenge the Conservative party's comments on Transgender rights. This comes following the comments made by Rishi Sunak and the announcement that trans women would be banned from NHS women's wards.

Conservative conference sparks concern for Transgender community in Leeds

Der britische Informatiker Alan Turing, bekannt für den Turing-Test und die Turingmaschine, arbeitete ab Ende der 30er Jahre in Bletchley Park an der Entzifferung der mit der Rotor-Chiffriermaschine Enigma verschlüsselten deutschen Funksprüche. Der Landsitz in der Nähe von London war ein wichtiger Sitz von Militär und Geheimdienst. Er spielt in zahlreichen Filmen und Agentenromanen eine zentrale Rolle. Heute befindet sich dort das Nationale Computer-Museum Großbritanniens.

Bletchley Park? Genau! Vor wenigen Tagen trafen sich an diesem symbolträchtigen Ort zahlreiche hochrangige Regierungsvertreter aus Europa, den USA und China mit Unternehmern wie Elon Musk und Sam Altman. Mit dabei viele KI-Verantwortliche der Länder, aber auch die unvermeidliche Flut an Lobbyisten. Kamala Harris folgte der Einladung ebenso wie Ursula von der Leyen. Den deutschen Kanzler vertraten Robert Habeck und Volker Wissing als KI-Doppel-Wumms. Eingeladen hatte den illustren Kreis der britische Premier Rishi Sunak. Der erste „AI Safety Summit“ ist für ihn eine Art Coup – denn er hat ambitionierte Pläne für Großbritannien als „wahre“ Heimat der Künstlichen Intelligenz.

In der neuesten Podcast-Episode 147 der Turtlezone Tiny Talks analysieren Dr. Michael Gebert und Oliver Schwartz die Umstände und Ergebnisse des AI Safety Summit und debattieren den neuen Wettlauf um die Pole-Position im internationalen Ringen um Art und Umfang der anstehenden Regulierung. Was bedeutet das für den EU AI Act, der sich eigentlich auf der Zielgeraden im Trilog befindet, wenn immer mehr Regierungsvertreter und Lobbyisten ihre Sorge um die „Innovationsfreundlichkeit“ der geplanten Verordnung zu Protokoll geben und lieber „die Industrie in die Pflicht nehmen wollen“. Ein bewährtes politisches Stilmittel, wenn man drohende Regulierung vermeiden oder aufweichen will.

Spannende 36 Minuten!

leaders lie debate 2024

Wczoraj, po 14 latach, Wielka Brytania postanowiła zmienić kurs i wybrać nowe władze. Andrzej Bobiński rozmawia z Susi Dennison z European Council on Foreign Relations o wyniku wyborów, perspektywach dla konserwatystów oraz przyszłym rządzie. Jakim premierem będzie Keir Starmer i na czym w pierwszej kolejności skupi się jego gabinet? Czy Partia Pracy zna receptę na wyjście z kryzysu ekonomicznego? Jak będzie wyglądała odbudowa stosunków z Unią Europejską i czy specjalna relacja Stanów Zjednoczonych i Wielkiej Brytanii przeżyłaby tandem Starmer-Trump?

Wielka Brytania bierze się do Pracy

İngiltere’de İşçi Partisi 4 yıl sonra büyük seçim zaferiyle iktidara geldi. Peki, Keir Starmer hükümeti İngiltere’nin Brexit’ten sonra ağırlaşan ve ülkeyi bölünmenin eşiğine getiren sorunlarına çare bulabilir mi?

İşçi Partisi Britanya'yı kurtarabilir mi?
