Last week the UK and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak hosted the 2023 AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire. The summit brought together leaders from 27 countries around the world, including the United States, China, the EU, India, Israel, and the Middle East. The introduction to the summit can be viewed here. The goal of the summit was stated as:
“The summit will bring together international governments, leading AI companies, civil society groups and experts in research to consider the risks of AI, especially at the frontier of development, and discuss how they can be mitigated through internationally coordinated action. Frontier AI models hold enormous potential to power economic growth, drive scientific progress and wider public benefits, while also posing potential safety risks if not developed responsibly.”
