British government quietly sacks entire board of independent AI advisers - eviltoast
The U.K. has disbanded the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation's (CDEI) advisory board as the government switches focus to a Frontier AI Taskforce prompted in part by the rise of ChatGPT.

The British government has quietly sacked an independent advisory board of eight experts that had once been poised to hold public sector bodies to account for how they used artificial intelligence technologies and algorithms to carry out official functions.

It comes as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak drives forward with a much-publicized commitment to make the United Kingdom a world leader in AI governance, and ahead of a global AI Safety Summit being arranged for November in Bletchley Park.
