They are vital to our national mission to grow the economy. This consultation sets out our plan to deliver a copyright and AI framework that rewards human creativity, incentivises innovation and provides the legal certainty required for long-term growth in both sectors. At present, the application of UK copyright law to the training of AI models is disputed. Rights holders are finding it difficult to control the use of their works in training AI models and seek to be remunerated for its use. AI developers are similarly finding it … Continue reading Copyright and Artificial Intelligence

Google Willow

Colin Henderson

“This week, Google announced Willow, a new chip that in five minutes was able to compute something that our current fastest supercomputer would have taken more time to do than the universe has existed. So immediately, of course, everyone thought, oh no, my Bitcoin. Fortunately though, this new quantum chip is not any good at guessing your wallet seed phrase, and it would apparently take a whole bunch of them specifically programmed to mine Bitcoin, or really to do anything practical so far anyway. But at some point, theoretically, they’re going to be able to steal your Bitcoin, right? Or … Continue reading Google Willow

Colin Henderson

By Emma Dunkley Peter Hargreaves does not mince his words. Shortly after arriving at Cafe Murano, a stylish Italian restaurant on St James’s Street in the West End of London, he tells me that he rarely ventures this far for business meetings, preferring instead to make Zoom calls from the comfort of his home in Bristol. “People would say, ‘Peter why don’t you come to London and have lunch in our boardroom?’” He pauses, then says emphatically, “Why the bloody hell do I want to do that? I’d say if you want to see me, come and see me.” I’m honoured … Continue reading ‘I never see the point of spending money for the sake of it’

The world ahead of us In this mailing we highlight the eight most-read and most-commented on stories of the year. Could they also be predictive? Taken together, they offer a frame through which to view a newly post-global world, where AI is an object of intense awe (and scrutiny) and where leaders distinguish themselves by building resilient corporations steeled against increasingly frequent shocks.

The Cyber Angle

Colin Henderson

Bloomberg The US private equity firm AE Industrial Partners has acquired one of Israel’s leading spyware companies in a move that’s injected enthusiasm into the Middle Eastern country’s scandal-plagued surveillance technology industry. Florida-based AE bought Tel-Aviv’s Paragon in a deal worth up to $900 million, according to a person familiar with the deal, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential business. The agreement consists of an initial $500 million payment and could increase by a further $400 million depending on sales and other targets, the person added. AE plans to merge Paragon with REDLattice, a US cybersecurity firm … Continue reading The Cyber Angle

Becoming an #AI bank is no longer a question of if but of how. McKinsey has just released one of the best reports on how to do it.
