The UK is hosting a two-day summit on AI safety from Bletchley Park - but will it actually achieve anything?
No anaesthetic and traumatised four-year-olds: The reality of treating sick children in GazaThe UK is hosting a two-day summit on AI safety from Bletchley Park – but will it actually achieve anything?
In March, over 1,000 AI researchers and backers signed a letter calling for a pause on the development of large-scale AI projects until the risks were better understood. The Government has said the focus of the summit will be so-called “frontier AI”, which includes large language models , which are the backbone of AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and are expected to continue to evolve rapidly.
Tech giants Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Samsung, and Sony are also confirmed, alongside AI firms Anthropic, Google DeepMind, OpenAI, and Elon Musk’s xAI start-up. “And only nation-states have the power and legitimacy to keep their people safe. The UK’s answer is not to rush to regulate. This is a point of principle,” he said.
The documents released ahead of the summit included just a few paragraphs of commentary on the potential job losses from AI, while there are three pages dedicated to fears that humans could one day lose control of AI altogether.
