The Financial Times: The inaugural AI Safety Summit held at Bletchley Park in the UK concluded with the signing of the “Bletchley Declaration,” a global commitment to develop artificial intelligence (AI) in a “human-centric, trustworthy, and responsible” manner. This is the first such agreement of its kind and includes 28 countries such as the US, UK, China, Brazil, India, and Saudi Arabia, along with tech giants like OpenAI, Google, and Salesforce. The declaration acknowledges both the potential benefits and risks of AI, emphasizing that the challenges are best addressed through international cooperation.
While the agreement marks a significant step in globally regulating AI, there are expected to be differing opinions on the extent of these controls. The summit also discussed various aspects of AI safety, including risks of misuse and loss of control. US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo announced a new US safety institute focused on AI risks, following a recent executive order by President Joe Biden on the issue. The UK and China also highlighted their ongoing efforts in AI regulation and safety. Future events to discuss AI development are planned, with France hosting the next in-person summit.
