UK Ready to Lead Global Push on AI Standards, Says Burnham

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham told the United Nations General Assembly that the UK is ready to lead an international effort to establish AI standards to mitigate security risks.

Burnham highlighted evidence of Russian agencies using bots, fake websites, and forged branding of 28 British organisations to spread disinformation and interfere in elections.

Burnham announced the creation of a new National Centre for Information Defence and stated he will place AI at the heart of Britain's G20 presidency next year.
