Nobody is setting the rules for AI: the world's two leading developers, the United States and China, met last week and did not agree on safety protocols, the US president told the UN he would reject any global scheme to control the technology, India, Japan, Australia, Canada and Kenya are waiting to see, the labs themselves have asked for a slowdown, one British MP says governments think in years while AI moves in weeks, and a Cambridge researcher on an EU advisory board says there are no adults in the room.
