Anthropic warns of ‘existential risks to humanity’ from AI; AstraZeneca makes $2bn cancer drug tie-up – business live
TL;DR
Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial news from the Guardian. UK government bond prices are rising as the City waits to hear from prime minister Andy Burnham, who addresses the Labour party conference at 2pm. Reports suggest he could signal the end of the pensions triple lock by proposing it be reviewed in the next manifesto. Headlines also include Anthropic warning of existential risks to humanity from AI and AstraZeneca's $2bn cancer drug tie-up.
Nauti's Take
Anthropic warning openly about existential risks is an opportunity for a more honest debate about the limits of the technology. The problem: in a live blog the warning gets buried between bond prices and party conference news, and without concrete measures it stays rhetoric.
Companies deploying AI should run through risk scenarios themselves.
