Today, I'm announcing Genome UK, the UK's genomic strategy for the future of healthcare. The UK has been a leader in genomic research, from the discovery of DNA's double helix form to sequencing the first genome and the 100,000 Genome Project. Genomics has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by understanding genetic codes and medical conditions, leading to earlier diagnoses and prevention of illnesses like cancer. We aim to maintain British leadership in genomic science and support the brilliant scientists driving this project. We invite global participation in our research to improve global health and gain transformative insights for the 21st century.

There are tools available if things go in the right direction. Governments have to be accountable and play an important role.

We outlined our green prosperity plan for clean power by 2030 at a conference. We aim to partner with businesses for this transition to renewable energy. It's crucial for the UK to be present on the global stage, especially in addressing the climate crisis. We believe in an active state that collaborates with the private sector to seize opportunities for the future. The absence of the UK at Davos was disappointing, and we hope for a change in government to lead in this area.

I am here in Paris at the UNESCO General Assembly. UNESCO is known for its world heritage sites, but it also focuses on global soft powers like culture, art, heritage, education, and science. I am advocating for the safety of scientists worldwide who are being threatened and intimidated, preventing them from freely expressing their scientific opinions, even if they are uncomfortable. This jeopardizes the working environment for scientists everywhere. We are working together to address this issue by establishing reporting mechanisms, clear rules, and fostering communication between universities and research institutions responsible for their safety. UNESCO has a crucial role in this mission because if we cannot amplify the voice of science, society as a whole will suffer, not just in the Netherlands, but worldwide. It is an important task to deliver this message from the Netherlands to the world here in Paris.

The speaker describes an effort to educate and elevate content. They mention a partnership with Google, initiated after observing highly distorted information at the top of climate change search results. The goal is to be more proactive in providing accurate information. They state, “We own the science, and we think that the world should know it.” They add, “The platforms themselves also do.”

- The report centers on nearly a year of investigation into the Tony Blair Institute (TBI) and Larry Ellison, the world’s second-richest man, highlighting a close relationship between Ellison and the Israeli government, including Benjamin Netanyahu, and noting Ellison’s donations to Friends of the IDF as their biggest donor. Oracle, co-founded by Ellison, is described as on the verge of taking over the US version of TikTok, a platform influential with American youth. - The narrative emphasizes Ellison’s advocacy for the use of social media as a battlefield and identifies Oracle’s potential role in global information control through AI and data strategy. - Safra Catz, Oracle’s former CEO, is quoted as saying she wants to embed love and respect for Israel into American culture. The transcript also notes a controversial LinkedIn policy stance on hate speech, with a claim about “from the river to the sea.” - It is claimed that David Ellison, Larry Ellison’s son, owns Paramount, which recently took ownership of CBS News, run by Ari Wise, described as a “self-proclaimed Zionist fanatic.” The report asserts that anti-Zionism is equated with anti-Semitism in the narrative. - The event coverage includes a Dubai World Leaders Summit in February where Ellison, interviewed by Tony Blair, spoke about AI. Ellison allegedly proposed unifying national data into a single, easily consumable database for AI models. - The investigation indicates the UK government is starting to unify its data, with Blair’s Institute advising on this effort. Blair is depicted as a long-time advocate for ID cards and digital ID cards, proposing to bring together all personal data in one place. - The discussion contrasts the potential benefits of digital ID (faster, cheaper, more reliable interactions with the state) with the potential dangers of centralized personal data controlled by a single private company, noting Blair’s push and Oracle’s willingness to take on the role. It is noted that Ellison advocated for ID cards as far back as 2001. - The conversation expands to health data: a call to consolidate health care data, diagnostic data, electronic health records, and genomic data into a single unified data platform, arguing the NHS has a rich but fragmented population data set not easily accessible to AI models. These models are said to be trained mainly on data from the Internet, implying national health records are particularly valuable and not publicly available. - The report asserts deep TBI involvement in Keir Starmer’s government, creating a risk that valuable UK data could be co-opted by Ellison and Oracle for private gain. It claims Oracle has earned over £1.1 billion in UK government contracts and Ellison has already benefited from such arrangements. - It is alleged that Blair and Ellison have maintained a long relationship, with Blair appearing in Ellison’s yachts and on Lanai. Blair has recorded a video for Oracle; Ellison’s wealth and ventures are described through the rhetorical question about the difference between Larry Ellison and God, implying Ellison’s outsized influence and wealth. - The piece asserts the potential for surveillance-driven monetization through AI and data consolidation, with Ellison stating that citizens will be on their best behavior as data is constantly recorded, “the camera’s always on,” and that recordings are accessible only with a court order. - The report finishes by noting the influence of the Tony Blair Institute in UK policy, its international reach, and the concern that its promotion of big-tech and AI boosterism may overshadow the needs of local populations. It calls for further independent media scrutiny of big-tech lobbying and its impact on policy, inviting support for Double Down News on Patreon.

The speaker states that they partnered with Google because, initially, Googling "climate change" yielded "incredibly distorted information" at the top of search results. As a result of the partnership, UN resources now appear at the top of Google searches for climate change. The speaker asserts that they "own the science" related to climate change and believe "the world should know it." The speaker also indicates that the platforms themselves are taking action on this issue.

Europe has become a leader in supercomputing, with 3 out of the 5 most powerful supercomputers in the world. To capitalize on this, a new initiative will open up high-performance computers to AI start-ups for responsible training of their models. However, this is just one part of guiding innovation. An open dialogue with AI developers and deployers is crucial, as seen in the United States where 7 major tech companies have agreed to voluntary rules on safety, security, and trust. In Europe, the aim is for AI companies to commit to the principles of the AI Act before it takes effect, working towards global standards for safe and ethical AI use. This is important for the well-being of our people.

Speaker 0 describes a sweeping shift in the industrial and military landscape driven by the technological revolution of recent decades. In this new era, research has moved to the center of national advancement, becoming more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share of research is conducted for, by, or at the direction of the Federal Government. The traditional lone inventor working in a shop has been largely eclipsed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. As the free university—a historic fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery—experiences its own revolution in how research is conducted, government funding and contracts increasingly shape inquiry. Partly because of the enormous costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. Where once old blackboards sufficed for contemplation and experimentation, now hundreds of new electronic computers occupy the space, symbolizing the new scale and tools of research. The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present, and it is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in acknowledging the importance of holding scientific research and discovery in respect, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite. The central challenge is to prevent policy from being subordinated to narrow technical interests while preserving the integrity and vitality of scientific inquiry. The speech emphasizes that it is the task of statesmanship to mold, balance, and integrate these evolving forces—new and old—within the principles of a democratic system. This balancing act should be oriented toward the supreme goals of a free society, ensuring that technological and scientific advances serve broad public purposes rather than becoming ends in themselves. The overarching message is a call to thoughtfully manage the profound changes in how research is funded, organized, and directed, so that the benefits of the technological revolution support democratic ideals and societal well-being rather than concentrating power or constraining intellectual exploration.

We are establishing a single governance system in Europe and aiming for a global approach to understanding the impact of AI. Similar to the IPCC for Climate, we need a global panel consisting of scientists, tech companies, and independent experts to assess the risks and benefits of AI for humanity. This will enable a coordinated and swift response, building upon the efforts of the Hiroshima process and other initiatives.

The speaker outlines the range of stakeholders that are important to their work, emphasizing a broad and diverse audience. They identify business as a very important audience, alongside politics, highlighting the role of ongoing engagement across multiple governmental contexts through continuous partnerships with many governments around the world. The speaker also notes NGOs and trade unions as key groups to consider, along with media, which is acknowledged as an important stakeholder category. Further, the speaker highlights that experts, scientists, and academia are crucial for informing a forward-looking perspective, particularly when considering future directions and solutions. The statement underscores the belief that the future will be shaped largely by technological developments, implying a need to incorporate cutting-edge innovations and technical expertise in strategic discussions and decision-making. In addition to these conventional sectors, the speaker mentions religious leaders as part of the stakeholder landscape, signaling recognition of faith-based perspectives and moral or ethical considerations in broader dialogues. Social entrepreneurs are singled out as well, described as very important, suggesting that venture-driven approaches to social impact are seen as a significant component of the ecosystem. Overall, the speaker communicates a philosophy of inclusivity and broad collaboration, integrating political, business, civil society, media, scientific, religious, and entrepreneurial voices. The emphasis on continuous partnerships with governments worldwide indicates an ongoing, collaborative approach to governance, policy, and implementation across different regions. The repeated references to a future oriented by technological development signal a strategic priority placed on innovation and science as drivers of forthcoming solutions, informing how they engage with the various stakeholder groups and respondents to emerging challenges. In sum, the speaker presents a multi-stakeholder framework that spans business, politics, governments, NGOs, trade unions, media, experts, scientists, academia, religious leaders, and social entrepreneurs, all contributing to a future shaped by technological progress and collaborative problem-solving.

The speakers discuss the framing of risk and benefit in scientific research, emphasizing the need for more clarity in defining these terms. They also touch on the issue of self-censorship among scientists due to funding uncertainties. The conversation highlights the importance of foundational research despite potential lack of immediate benefits. Additionally, they address the need for more transparency in discussions surrounding risk and benefit in research proposals.

I want to collaborate with Congress to ensure appropriate regulation of any risky research. The NIH should not engage in research that could potentially cause a pandemic, and I am committed to working with Congress to prevent such occurrences. Transparency is crucial for building trust. If confirmed, I pledge to lead the NIH as a scientific organization committed to openness. As a citizen, I've noticed that Freedom of Information Act requests from the NIH were often heavily redacted during the pandemic. To foster trust, we must be transparent. If confirmed as the NIH leader, I fully commit to ensuring that the American people have access to all NIH activities with limited obfuscation, which has unfortunately characterized the NIH's interactions with the public.

You demanded action, and now it's time for the financial sector to deliver. To reach net zero, every country, every company, every bank, every investor, every pension fund around the world will need to make some big changes. In the run up to COP twenty six in Glasgow, we have an enormous opportunity to bring climate change into the heart of every financial decision, and our plan will manage the risk from climate change while helping to seize the opportunities from a newer, greener economy. The UK has been at the forefront of innovation for centuries brimming with ingenuity and a can do spirit. It also houses the world's largest financial system, and by bringing them together, we can deliver the net zero world that you've demanded and that our future generations deserve. The world's coming to Glasgow. Let's reshape finance for a sustainable world.
