Brexit means UK can be global leader on AI, says Facebook co-founder

Like Cambridge Analytica was a global leader in personal information harvesting and political disinformation? No thank you!

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Dustin Moskovitz, the chief executive of software company Asana, has claimed Brussels’ heavy-handed approach to regulation meant it was “better that the UK is out of the EU”.

Speaking ahead of Rishi Sunak’s AI summit at Bletchley Park, the internet entrepreneur said he was “far more concerned about regulatory friction” in the EU than in Britain.

Speaking ahead of the November summit set to feature world leaders and tech bosses, Mr Moskovitz said he feared that the EU “could ban large-language models completely”.

Experts have warned that AI tools which analyse huge amounts of personal information could fall foul of data privacy rules.

It is not yet clear which international leaders will attend the gathering at Bletchley Park in November which is intended to discuss how to ensure AI can be used safely around the world.

A Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology spokesperson said: “We cannot reap the benefits of AI in areas like healthcare, climate change and beyond without working towards a shared, global understanding of the risks we face.”

I thought Brexit means Brexit

The EU is destined to be a follower in AI, given the heavy-handed restrictions they have placed on its development. Though, I'm not convinced the UK will be leading it, right now that is the US and I'm not sure what would enable the UK to pull ahead.
