    Bailey's crusade to prevent an AI financial crash: ALEX BRUMMER (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Andrew Bailey’s worry about artificial intelligence (AI) going rogue is no secret. Yet, he has taken the argument much further in an unusual personal note distributed with the Bank of England’s latest financial stability minutes. Bailey wants urgent action, given evidence that AI systems are so powerful and self-generating that they test society’s ability to erect guardrails. Risks to the financial system are terrifying. AI cyber attacks on payments networks, financial markets infrastructure, ba

    Burnham must cut spending if Britain is to truly prosper: ALEX BRUMMER (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Far away from Liverpool and Labour delegates full of hope, there was an uncomfortable reminder of the task Andy Burnham faces. The UK debt office sold £4.25billion of ten-year gilts, to help finance the country’s gaping borrowing needs, with an eye-watering yield of 5.383 per cent. That is the highest return offered since September 1999. The Prime Minister’s undertaking to adjust the ‘triple lock’ on state pensions beyond 2030 genuinely is bold and goes where other politicians dare not tread. Ov

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    In my lengthy career in financial journalism no event is seared more strongly into my memory than the drama which unfolded 50 years ago on September 28, 1976.

    How a data centre punt helped revive ailing Aberdeen (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    As one of Britain’s leading asset managers, Aberdeen has had a torrid decade. The £11billion merger and joint leadership cooked up by adventurous boss Martin Gilbert and Standard Life’s technocratic leader Keith Skeoch was doomed from the outset. Both left and eventually assurer Standard Life was bundled off to legacy pensions and life group Phoenix, while Aberdeen experimented with all kinds of devices, such as a trendy, short-lived name-change under Stephen Bird to ‘abrdn’, which no one could

    TalkTalk's financial crisis poses a profound test for the government (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    The financial crisis at telecoms group TalkTalk poses a profound test of the will of Andy Burnham’s government to step in to protect vital services and vulnerable consumers. It is astonishing that there is no supplier-of-last-resort regime in telecoms as there is for electricity and water. For TalkTalk’s broadband clients, a bail-out would come none too soon. A family member, who works from home, found it impossible to arrange a transfer of his TalkTalk service on moving house earlier this year.
