The AI summit at Bletchley Park, home of Britain's Second World War codebreakers, brought together politicians, tech bosses, and academics to discuss the challenges and opportunities artificial intelligence presents.
Rishi Sunak has said the UK's AI safety summit will 'tip the balance in favour of humanity' after tech companies agreed to work with governments to test the safety of their models before their release. The prime minister said while the landmark event at Bletchley Park was 'only the beginning of the conversation', it showed there was the 'political will and capability to control the technology'.
But there was little sign of a concrete approach to regulation or any suggestions of a pause in AI's development, which experts including Elon Musk called for earlier this year. It also did little to satisfy critics who warned Mr Sunak ahead of the summit he was too focused on hypothetical future threats, rather than present dangers like job losses and misinformation.
