When Will the Russia-Ukraine War End?

U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced a new "National Centre for Information Defence" in his address to the U.N. General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, tasking security chiefs to "detect, attribute and disrupt" hostile state information attacks.

U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced a new "National Centre for Information Defence" in his address to the U.N. General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, tasking security chiefs to "detect, attribute and disrupt" hostile state information attacks.

Burnham alleged that the Kremlin spends £1.3 billion a year manipulating information, using bots, fake websites and falsified newspaper articles, and claimed that Russia had forged the branding of 28 British organizations, including universities and the BBC.

The prime minister also alleged there was evidence Russian agencies tried to interfere with the 2019 general election. Russia had previously been accused of using illicitly obtained documents on U.K.-U.S. trade talks to influence that vote.

This comes as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov alleged the same day that the West was undertaking its own information warfare, stating: "I have no doubt whatsoever that ultimately the truth will prevail and become an adequate response to the information aggression of the West against the countries of the global majority."

Meanwhile, Burnham said he would place AI "at the heart" of the U.K.'s G20 presidency next year and work toward a "single set of global principles and standards," claiming he believed the U.K. could act as an "honest broker."

However, U.K. has not signed a declaration calling for AI to stay under human control and for mandatory pre-release testing, which has more than 20 signatories including Germany, Canada and Ireland, but neither the U.S. or China.
