Sunak Says UK Will Lead Global Response To AI Threat

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will tell President Joe Bien today, that the UK is ready to take the lead in tackling the threat posed by Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Sunak is in Washington on his first visit to The White House as Prime Minister.

According to The Telegraph:

He will announce that Britain will host a major summit on the risk posed by AI and is expected to push for London to be the location for a new global AI regulator, modelled on the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Speaking ahead of Thursday’s meeting, the Prime Minister said: “This mid-size country happens to be a global leader in AI.

“You would be hard-pressed to find many other countries other than the US in the Western world with more expertise and talent in AI. We are the natural place to lead the conversation.

“Historically, the UK has got it right when we are trying to balance innovation with making sure the new technology is safe for society.

“I intend to talk about that with President Biden and lots of leaders around the world.”

It comes days after one of Mr Sunak’s top advisers warned that AI could kill humans within two years unless action is taken now.

In May, the bosses of the world’s biggest AI laboratories warned in a joint statement that technologies such as ChatGPT could be as dangerous as a nuclear war, saying that “mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority”.

As well as AI, Mr Sunak is expected to discuss with Mr Biden how the US and UK can shore up economic security.

He will also raise the situation in Ukraine in the wake of the suspected Russian attack on the Kakhovka dam.
