aceUK to strengthen cyber defences as minister calls for AI firms to increase safety efforts
Companies building the most advanced AI systems must increase safety efforts, the UK’s AI minister will say, as he announces a strengthening of Britain’s cyber defences. Kanishka Narayan will call on companies developing frontier AI to do more to make sure it is safe. He will say Britain cannot rely entirely on technology companies to police their own models and will argue the UK needs to build more of its own AI infrastructure. Narayan’s speech in west London will be the first since Andy Burnham made AI a cabin…
A former UK AI Security Institute chief scientist says AI companies lack security strong enough to stop an adversarial country from stealing unreleased frontier models, and the UK government has not relied on firms alone to police them.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1391 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
