It certainly seems that he'll be able to shape AI policy more than his predecessor, Feryal Clark, did.

But he's got an uphill battle ahead, navigating copyright, turf wars with Ed Miliband, and the general complexity of the topic.

Thank you!!

Our aim is to be the definitive source for coverage of transformative AI — one dedicated to explaining what’s happening in AI and why it matters.

We think this is a really important mission. The world needs more journalism that takes AI seriously. We hope to provide it.

We're also introducing an external opinion section, which launches tomorrow with some big names. We hope it'll be a forum for incisive debate about transformative AI from a diverse range of expert perspectives.

And last week Nikita Ostrovsky explained why a team at the UK AI Security Institute recently criticized the state of AI scheming evaluations.

Pulitzer Prize-winner @jamesrball.com, meanwhile, has a fantastic piece on the (often misguided) debate about AI’s environmental impact.

We're kicking off with Jonathan Stein's timely look at the feasibility of chip location verification as a way of cracking down on chip smuggling.

@transformernews.ai is now a team of all-star journalists. I'm joined by @jasperjackson.bsky.social as managing editor, @celiaford.bsky.social as AI reporter, and Jamie Condliffe as opinion editor.

We'll be publishing features and analysis that dive deep into a wide range of AI topics.

I am genuinely so frustrated with the state of the average journalist. Just nonstop dunking and in a way that makes people less informed.
They're being very clear that it's not a calculator and should not be used that way!
