UK's AI Safety Institute rebrands as AISI, pivoting focus to security and criminal misuse of AI.

The UK's AI Safety Institute is being renamed the AI Security Institute (AISI) to focus on crime and security issues, particularly the misuse of AI in developing chemical weapons, conducting cyber attacks, and enabling crimes like fraud and child sexual abuse. AISI will drop its focus on bias and free speech. A new "criminal misuse" team will partner with the Home Office. The UK also announced a partnership with AI firm Anthropic to enhance responsible AI development.
