According to Cointelegraph, the United Kingdom has unveiled its five 'ambitions' for the upcoming global artificial intelligence (AI) safety summit, focusing on risks and policy to support the technology. The summit, scheduled for November 1-2, aims to bring together thought leaders from various fields, including academia, politics, and major tech companies, to develop a shared understanding of AI regulation.
The event will primarily concentrate on the risks posed by the most powerful AI systems and the need for action. It will also explore how safe AI development can be used for public good and overall quality of life improvement. Furthermore, the summit will discuss a way forward for international collaboration on AI safety, supporting international laws, AI safety measures for individual organizations, and potential areas for collaboration on AI safety research.
The summit will be led by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's representatives for the AI Safety Summit, Jonathan Black and Matt Clifford. Sunak has called the UK a 'global leader' in AI regulation and emphasized his government's desire to accelerate AI investment to boost productivity. The UK is set to receive early or priority access to Google and OpenAI's latest AI models.
