Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 12:13:54 GMT

LONDON — Rishi Sunak’s flagship scheme to reopen the British economy during the first year of the coronavirus pandemic is “highly likely” to have led to increased deaths, the U.K. government’s former top scientist told the official COVID inquiry Monday.Patrick Vallance — chief scientific adviser to the government during the pandemic — made clear his deep disagreement with the “Eat Out to Help Out” discount devised by Sunak’s Treasury to get people back into restaurants in summer 2020.

Europe’s three largest economies have turned against regulation of the most powerful types of artificial intelligence, putting the fate of the bloc’s pioneering Artificial Intelligence Act on the line.France, Germany and Italy are stonewalling negotiations over a controversial section of the EU’s draft AI legislation so it doesn’t hamper Europe’s own development of “foundation models,” AI infrastructure that underpins large-language models like OpenAI’s GPT and Google’s Bard.Government officials argue that slapping tough restrictions on these newfangled models would harm the EU’s own champions in the race to harness AI technology. In a joint paper shared with fellow EU governments, obtained by POLITICO, the three European heavyweights said Europe needs a “regulatory framework which fosters innovation and competition, so that European players can emerge and carry our voice and values in the global race of AI.” The paper sugg...
