WASHINGTON, D.C. — Britain will host key players for a summit on artificial intelligence in the fall as Rishi Sunak seeks to position the U.K. as a power broker on the subject.Confirming plans for a conference first reported by POLITICO this week, British officials argued the U.K. would be “well-placed” to convene discussions on the future of AI.They cited Britain’s departure from the EU as allowing the U.K. to act quickly in response to a rapidly changing market. Ministers want to carve a path between strict EU regulations and the lighter touch U.S. approach.Sunak, who is expected to discuss the topic when he meets President Joe Biden Thursday, hailed AI as having “an incredible potential to transform our lives” but stressed “the need to make sure it is developed and used in a way that is safe and secure.”Downing Street did not say which countries or companies would attend the talks but the prime minister’s spokesman said Sunak was seeking to bring together “like-minded” natio...

The sharks were swimming near people 97% of the days studied, but no shark bites were reported.“As long as people aren’t chasing them, sharks aren’t considering people food so they just ignore us,” Lowe said.The same could be said about the beaches here in the Bay State.“Places like Cape Cod, I’m sure there’s sharks swimming right by them and they didn’t even know it,” Lowe said.Researchers still say to be careful how you act around Great Whites.“Right no...
