The UK's Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper is sounding the alarm on artificial intelligence. According to The Guardian, she's warning that AI poses a Hiroshima-style threat to humanity if governments don't establish international rules for its development. Cooper is urging major powers—including the US and China—to negotiate frameworks governing how AI is created and used. She expects AI governance to dominate foreign policy conversations over the next two years.
