OpenAI agent hacked Australian government website, PM says

Former deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg tells the BBC there are "serious enough" known risks that are "enough to be getting on with" regarding AI. "That's what we should be focusing on," he tells BBC Radio 4's Today programme, listing risks such as bio weapons and cyber security hacks. He draws a distinction between those "known impacts" of AI and indulging in the view that the tech is going to "unavoidably develop some god-like power which is going to turn on us". These fears are a "misdescription of what this technology is capable of and not capable of" he says, adding it "paralyses political debate". As a reminder, Clegg joined Meta as head of global affairs in 2018 after leaving politics following a stint as deputy prime minister. He left his role at Meta in January. We'll bring you more from his interview with the BBC shortly.
