There are just a few days to go until Rishi Sunak rolls out the red carpet at Bletchley Park for an A-list assortment of global tech titans, thought leaders and government policymakers. They will be joining the UK prime minister at the artificial intelligence safety conference, billed as “the first major global summit” of its kind. The agenda promises to focus on “frontier AI” risks: the misuse of cutting-edge technology, particularly biosecurity, cyber security, online safety and the existential threats of AI to human society.

Organisers of the summit are right to call for co-operation on these critical issues. But even if we avoid a collapse of our banking systems, rogue state biohacking or a Terminator-style “rise of the machines”, AI will alter the future of work. So I was disappointed to see labour issues missing from the agenda, and non-tech industry leaders’ invitations seemingly lost in the post.
