A woman who was sexually assaulted by a friend after a night out has described the devastating impact the attack had on her life.Bryony Piggin, 20, waived her right to anonymity and told the BBC she felt "betrayed" by her former best friend.She spoke out after Stefan Nikolic, 20, of Coast Road, Bacton, in Norfolk, was found guilty of assault by penetration.

On Friday, Recorder Simon Levene sentenced him to two years in prison, suspended for 24 months, and told him he had "misread" the situation.Describing her friendship with Nikolic before the attack, Ms Piggin said: "We were inseparable."

The pair had been on a night out with friends in Norwich when the assault happened in April 2023.

The court heard that she had agreed Nikolic could stay at her home in the city, but when she woke up, he was assaulting her."We don't actually understand very well the way in which LLMs work internally, and that is some cause for concern," he tells the BBC.

According to Prof Shanahan, it's important for tech firms to get a proper understanding of the systems they're building – and researchers are looking at that as a matter of urgency."We are in a strange position of building these extremely complex things, where we don't have a good theory of exactly how they achieve the remarkable things they are achieving," he says. "So having a better understanding of how they work will enable us to steer them in the direction we want and to ensure that they are safe."

The prevailing view in the tech sector is that LLMs are not currently conscious in the way we experience the world, and probably not in any way at all. But that is something that the married couple Profs Lenore and Manuel Blum, both emeritus professors at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, believe will change, possibly quite soon.According to the Blums, that could happen as AI and LLMs have more live sensory inputs from the real world, such as vision and touch, by connecting cameras and haptic sensors (related to touch) to AI systems. They are developing a computer model that constructs its own internal language called Brainish to enable this additional sensory data to be processed, attempting to replicate the processes that go on in the brain.
