British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney held their first bilateral meeting to advance cooperation on defence and artificial intelligence, capped by an evening watching a football match together at Everton\u2019s stadium in Liverpool.<\/p>\n

The British Prime Minister\u2019s Office said in a statement on Wednesday that the leaders agreed governments and the tech sector must partner to ensure online safety and counter the risks of AI.<\/p>\n

The meeting came days after Burnham\u2019s spokesperson welcomed growing discussion among AI companies about the technology\u2019s risks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a good thing that the companies developing the most advanced AI systems are now talking openly about the risks as well as the opportunities,\u201d the spokesperson for the British Prime Minister\u2019s Office said, adding that policy decisions needed to be \u201cgrounded in evidence rather than speculation\u201d and that existing regulatory frameworks may not remain sufficient as AI capabilities advance.<\/p>\n

Neither the United Kingdom nor Canada currently has a dedicated law governing AI.<\/p>\n

Britain has taken a \u201cpro-innovation\u201d, sector-led approach since releasing its policy paper in March 2023, empowering sectoral regulators to police AI rather than passing standalone legislation.<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s own initiative, the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act, lapsed when parliament was prorogued in January 2025. That procedural suspension cancelled all pending legislation, and the measure has not been revived.<\/p>\n

The Canadian government currently relies on privacy law and a voluntary industry code instead.<\/p>\n

On defence, discussions centred on reconciling competing British and Canadian blueprints for an allied military financing bank, against the backdrop of Canada applying to the UK-led Joint Expeditionary Force and joining the Global Combat Air Programme as an observer.<\/p>\n

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has proposed that Canada become the EU\u2019s first \u201cassociate member<\/a>\u201d, as Ottawa seeks closer ties with Europe amid trade tensions<\/a> with the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
