Two stories about governments and AI, published hours apart, point in opposite directions. In the UK, Prime Minister Andy Burnham has abolished the Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology outright, and elevated AI Minister Kanishka Narayan — who also oversees the AI Safety Institute — to a full seat at cabinet. In the US, an Army CIO memo reinstates limits on how many AI tokens Army personnel can use, even as internal documents show the Department of Defense’s own Ask Sage tool has access to 100 million tokens through an annual “enterprise pack.”
