In a speech in London, the Prime Minister will say the rapidly expanding technology brings new opportunities for growth and advances, as well as "new dangers".

He will argue that he is being responsible by seeking to "address those fears headon" to give the public the "peace of mind that we will keep you safe".

Threat

A new paper from the Government Office for Science to accompany the speech says there is insufficient evidence to rule out a threat to humanity from AI.
