Google DeepMind boss, Sir Demis Hassabis, has called for urgent research into AI threats and "smart regulation" at the AI Impact Summit in Delhi. This comes as global leaders discuss the need for more governance over artificial intelligence, despite opposition from the United States.

• Sir Demis Hassabis highlighted two main threats: AI being used by "bad actors" and the risk of losing control as systems become more powerful.
• The US, represented by White House technology adviser Michael Kratsios, rejected global governance of AI, emphasizing that "AI adoption cannot lead to a brighter future if it is subject to bureaucracies and centralised control."
• Over 100 countries are attending the summit, with a joint statement on handling AI expected at its conclusion.
