The UK is considering changes to its settlement rules that could double the time skilled workers, including AI engineers, must wait for permanent residency. This proposal, still under consultation, aims to shift from a time-based to a contribution-based model. The potential retrospective application of these changes is causing concern among employers who rely on international talent. Companies are advised to assess their workforce's exposure to these changes to better manage retention and planning.

Microsoft AI drafts Humanist AI Code of Conduct
Microsoft AI has unveiled a draft Humanist AI Code of Conduct, initiating a public consultation to refine operational constraints for AI model training and deployment. This draft aims to ensure AI systems prioritize human authority, setting clear boundaries to prevent autonomous capabilities from overstepping. The initiative responds to recent security incidents and emphasizes the importance of maintaining control over AI systems. By rejecting the pursuit of unconstrained superintelligence, Microsoft seeks to build AI that is both useful and safe, even if it means limiting generality and autonomy. This move marks a significant step in addressing the real-world risks associated with advanced AI systems.
