Applied AIAndy Burnham wants the UK to use its G20 presidency to broker a global AI agreement
If the UK uses its G20 presidency to push a global AI deal, cross-border rules on training data, safety standards, and export controls could harden faster than most roadmaps assume.

Applied AISources: DeepSeek and Moonshot are among the companies briefing the UN Security Council on AI risks and international security during the UN General Assembly
