Cyberwarfare is now a “daily reality” for Britain’s national security, Pat McFadden will warn on Monday as he announces a new laboratory to protect the country from Russian attempts to “weaponise” artificial intelligence.
The Cabinet Office minister will use a speech at Nato’s cybersecurity conference in London to announce a new laboratory for AI security research. An initial £8 million of government funding will bring together Britain’s intelligence agencies, world-leading academics and the tech industry to develop new cyber defences to protect Britain’s national infrastructure.
