UK To Host First Global AI Safety Summit
Britain will host the world’s first artificial intelligence summit later this year in an attempt to negotiate a common approach among countries to limit the technology’s potential doomsday threats while embracing its potential, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced on Wednesday.
“AI has an incredible potential to transform our lives for the better. But we need to make sure it is developed and used in a way that is safe and secure,” Sunak said in Washington ahead of White House talks with US President Joe Biden on Thursday.
“Time and time again throughout history, we have invented paradigm-shifting new technologies and we have harnessed them for the good of humanity. That is what we must do again.”
The summit is expected to take place in the autumn and will gather “like-minded countries” to shape a regulatory response, Sunak’s spokesman said, following a G7 call for action in Japan last month.
