[Opinion] UK AI Safety Institute and open source
We backed the wrong approach and we're fixing it by renaming ourselves. I am so full of confidence ... not. Oh dear, anthropic to be used throughout government. Hmmm, this should not be allowed anywhere near policy makers until the models are investigated for biases towards market benefit rather than societal benefit.
Ok, ok, I can't leave it there. I do like the UK being a Brit, so ... FTFY
"We're closing the AI Safety Institute and redirecting all Government support and investment in AI towards open source AI including but not limited to open weights, open code, open training data and open architectural components because we have decided that we want the UK to become a major AI player worldwide rather than an also ran."
