UK and US partner on AI to shield critical infrastructure from cyberattacks

letemps.ch (French)

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced Tuesday that the UK and US are developing a partnership to use artificial intelligence to protect critical infrastructure from cyberattacks, calling AI a vital security tool. The announcement follows major attacks on British health services and US water systems, with some incidents attributed to Russia and Iran. Burnham also plans to propose AI security standards during the UK's G20 presidency in 2027. The US opposes such standards, viewing them as a sovereignty loss. The UK established its AI Safety Institute in 2024 to test advanced models from leading American companies.
