UK's Cooper Warns of an AI 'Hiroshima' without Rules
She says governments must agree guardrails before AI outpaces them, warning the technology could fuel cyberattacks, fraud and disinformation at scale.
- On Monday, Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper argued in a Chatham House essay that the world must establish global Artificial intelligence regulations now, warning "we cannot afford to wait for an AI equivalent of Hiroshima."

- Cooper's essay, 'Britain's Place In The New World Order,' notes that British citizens are increasingly feeling global instability's impact—from rising prices to cyber attacks—amid renewed competition between great powers and weaponisation of supply chains.
