The warning comes weeks before a conference that could open negotiations on autonomous weapons, as Washington and Beijing agree on an alert channel and the EU excludes defence from its AI Act.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping drug discovery and development, and the companies making real progress are those that treat AI as an accelerator, not a replacement, for scientific judgement.

A bot that has never experienced sleep resolves a support ticket in nine seconds. A quarterly report that used to take weeks arrives as a first draft within minutes of Claude reading the prompt.

“There’s a sort of soullessness to them, and I find it sad that we appear to be increasingly happy to settle for that.”

I spend much of my time these days in rooms with plant heads, automation leads, system engineers and almost every conversation about “AI-ready manufacturing” starts with machines and ends with people. We talk about sensors, digital twins, predictive models, robotics on the shop floor and then someone asks, “But who’s going to run all this?”

Leaders and experts in the artificial intelligence field will meet in Durham on Friday to address concerns of how dangerous AI could be to mankind.

A Silicon Valley settlement isn’t enough to address their pain of those who lost their children, writes Lennon Torres. Credit: Photo by Karl Mondon / AFP
