UK tech tsar warns of AI cyberthreats posed to NHS

UK government’s AI tsar, Ian Hogarth, has warned that cybercriminals could use AI to launch attacks on the National Health Service (NHS) which could disrupt it on a scale similar to previous large scale incidents. He emphasised the need for technology leaders to prepare for such attacks. The UK government’s Frontier AI task force, which Hogarth chairs, is responsible for the safe development of AI and has £100 million in funding. Hogarth has advocated international collaboration for mitigating AI risks.
