The UK government is drafting plans for mandatory safety reporting and monitoring of frontier AI, with the minister responsible for the technology preparing to tell companies that stricter controls will be imposed on autonomous models. According to sources, Kanishka Narayan is set to speak on Monday, stating that firms building increasingly powerful and self-directed AI models must take additional measures to address risks and implement safeguards.
