- The United Kingdom’s Security Institute is now the AI Security Institute
- The name change represents a change towards cybersecurity
- Anthrope has also associated with the government
The new Labor Government has become AI since it took power in 2024, and was supported by the United Kingdom Security Institute (AISI), but not for much longer. The institution will remain, but the government has announced that this will now be renamed to the United Kingdom’s Security Institute, indicating a definitive change towards cybersecurity.
But what is the difference? Well’s security focuses on defending things such as cyber attacks, and mitigating security risks, including the way technology can be used against national security or can allow crimes such as fraud or develop chemical weapons.
Security has a slightly broader reach, it also aims to mitigate the risks of cyber attacks, but go further to protect against the disgust of erroneous information by chatbots, and aims to evaluate the social impacts of AI models , instead of only immediate cybersecurity threats.
New associations
The widely publicized change plan of the United Kingdom, launched in January 2025, was largely inclined to AI, introduces’ growth zones’, delivers public data to train models and with the aim of seeing the AI ’mainland in The veins of public services, but not once did the document mentioned the words ‘damage’, ‘security’ or ‘threat’, Techcrunch noted.
Despite these omissions, the work of the AI Security Institute remains the same, says Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, Peter Kyle;
“The work of the AI Security Institute will not change, but this renewed approach will ensure that our citizens, and those of our allies, are protected from those who would seek to use ia against our institutions, democratic values and way of life. “
As part of the new plan, the Government agreed a new association with the firm of the Anthrope, working to “obtain the opportunities of technology, with a continuous approach to responsible development and the deployment of AI systems.” This will include ‘ideas’ about how AI can “transform public services and improve the lives of citizens’, as well as boost scientific development.
This is part of the ambition of the United Kingdom to attract technological investments around the world: try to promote a perfect environment for innovation of AI, apparently free of security regulations.
