The UK is in a "new AI arms race" with countries like Russia and North Korea, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster will say on Monday. Minister Pat McFadden will be speaking at the NATO Cyber Defence Conference at Lancaster House, warning the UK and its allies that "cyber war is now a daily reality". "Be in no doubt: the United Kingdom and others in this room are watching Russia. We know exactly what they are doing, and we are countering their attacks both publicly and behind the scenes," he will say. "Putin is a man who wants destruction, not peace." In a bid to keep up with adversaries, Mr McFadden will announce a new Laboratory for AI Security Research (LASR). "AI is already revolutionising many parts of life - including national security," he will say. "But as we develop this technology, there's a danger it could be weaponised against us. Because our adversaries are also looking at how to use AI on the physical and cyber battlefield." US officials recently discovered a Chinese attack on the country's telecommunications infrastructure, where operatives "extracted all sorts of sensitive information from US telecommunications and penetrated it very deeply", according to tech investor Andrew Levi. "That shows that this isn't just about Russia," he told Sky News. In May, GCHQ director Anne Keast-Butler said the intelligence agency now "devotes ", after the country hacked the Ministry of Defence's payroll system and was accused of stealing data about UK voters from the Electoral Commission. In recent months, cyber security firm Check Point said it had seen "an uptick of 72% in cyber attacks on targets in the UK", according to Sergey Shykevitch, who leads the company's threat intelligence research. "It is definitely possible, with the right investment and national cyber security strategy, to reduce the risks from such attacks," he told Sky News. "But we have to remember that for the attacker, it is enough to have one successful attack in order to achieve their goal, while the defender has to be able to prevent 100% of the attacks." The new AI laboratory will receive an initial £8.22m round of government funding before inviting further investment and collaboration from industry. However, one expert told Sky News AI is only "one part of the puzzle" in terms of making the UK less vulnerable to cyberattacks. "We need to fundamentally change our posture and invest in our networks," said Stephen Kines, chief executive of British cyber security firm Goldilock. He said the UK's "legacy infrastructure" leaves the country vulnerable and adding AI protection on top is like having a "nice front door" with a security camera doorbell but an "old-school back door". "That's really the problem we have. We've got these back doors that just have no security whatsoever," he said. Mr Kines suggests the UK would be better off implementing physical "kill switches" in its grids in order to protect against Russian attacks, as well as reducing how many access points are connected to the internet. "If you take it down to the physical layer, then you can actually defeat the Russians because they can't physically penetrate it from thousands of miles away." Alongside the new laboratory, the chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster will also announce a new £1m incident response project to share expertise so that allies can respond to cyber incidents more effectively.
Jessica Tisch officially became the 48th police commissioner in NYPD history on Monday, as Mayor Eric Adams swore in the second woman ever to hold the post during a ceremony at One Police Plaza. Tisch, previously the sanitation commissioner, arrived at police headquarters in Lower Manhattan on Nov. 25 with her children in hand and a round of applause from attendees that included NYPD brass and previous top cops such as Dermot Shea and Raymond Kelly. The new commissioner does not have uniformed police experience but has served in civilian roles within the NYPD over the years—something Mayor Adams addressed before the ceremony. “I push back on anyone who believes she had to wear a police uniform to take the Police Department to the next level. She can wear any uniform and accomplish the task,” Adams said. Tisch arrived at police headquarters in Lower Manhattan with her children in hand and a round of applause from attendees that included previous top cops such as Dermot Shea and Raymond Kelly and police brass.

Both cops and sanitation workers filled the audience. Following the ceremony, the new police commissioner pledged to lead the city in a safe return to normalcy. “My greatest hope is that together, we will return this noble undertaking, this job of high moral purpose, to a time and a place where you want your children, your grandchildren, your nieces, your nephews, to follow in your footsteps and become police officers,” Tisch said. “The police exist to eliminate fear and disorder, your cops, like generations before them, nobly put their lives on the line each and every time they put on that uniform to protect you and your families, and they do a damn good job of it. We will continue to do that most important foundational work to make you safe.” Tisch was sworn in by placing her hand on her grandmother’s bible.

Tisch’s forebear, Keechant Sewell, resigned from the position in 2023 after reported frustrations with Adams for allegedly micromanaging her and refusing to allow her to make her own calls. She was then followed by the first Latino top cop, Edward Caban, who only lasted about a year in office after becoming embroiled in a federal investigation and accusations that his twin were using police resources to shake down nightclub owners. Thomas Donlon then became interim police commissioner before Adams announced last week that Tisch would step into the role. Bill Bratton, who served as NYPD commissioner during the Giuliani and de Blasio administrations, expressed enthusiasm that Tisch will make a lasting impact during her administration of the NYPD — provided that Mayor Adams gives her the leeway to do so. “I think she’s going to do a great, if the mayor lets her,” Bratton said, according to ABC Bews. “I think it’s quite important that the mayor make it quite clear what he wants and gets out of the way and lets her do it. I think that was the issue with his previous three commissioners... and that’s why he had three previous commissioners.” Tisch arrived at police headquarters in Lower Manhattan with her children in hand and a round of applause from attendees that included previous top cops such as Dermot Shea and Raymond Kelly and police brass.
