The British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has disclosed plans for the UK to house the world’s first Artificial Intelligence (AI) Safety Institute.
The revelations come prior to a pivotal summit involving key players from prominent AI companies and political spheres, along with industry experts.
In a speech in London yesterday, Sunak detailed the institute’s pivotal role in advancing global understanding of AI security. He underscored its core mission of thoroughly assessing and understanding risk factors associated with emerging AI models, ranging from social biases to more extreme threats.
The PM also highlighted the institute’s commitment to transparency; plans are in place to share certain data publicly while retaining national security information for circulation with like-minded governments. One key aim is to guarantee the safety of AI models before their public release, Sunak asserted.
The UK government also outlined intentions to establish an AI research network based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The initiative, which includes Chinese representation, will publish a comprehensive report on the current state of AI science. Sunak defended the move, emphasising the necessity of engaging with all major AI powers globally to formulate robust AI strategy.
