Mike Loukides, Vice President of Emerging Technology at O’Reilly, said “The UK government has published five principles to guide the use of artificial intelligence in the UK. What's notable about these principles is that they're addressing real problems and harms that are caused by AI now. In that respect, there's a sharp contrast between these principles and other calls for "moratoriums" and such."

He adds, "The UK is addressing real, concrete issues: fairness, security, accountability, and redress of harms, not fantasies about what might or might not happen if we somehow manage to build a hyperintelligent AI. This is an excellent start. And while there's been a lot of discussion, I've seen few signs that private industry is interested in these issues of responsible use."
