Labour peer Richard Hermer, a former attorney general, says AI poses an existential risk to humanity and that frontier AI needs rigorous regulation now.
He argues that AI companies are not adequately regulated, citing the fact that fridges face more safety rules than frontier AI labs.
He calls for international coordination and public debate, saying governments must not leave AI's direction to China, the US and big tech.
