British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced his intention to raise the topic of AI risks at the upcoming G7 summit in Hiroshima. Writes about it The Guardian.
According to the head of government, artificial intelligence can bring benefits and be transformative for society. However, the technology needs to be implemented “safely and securely within established limits”.
Sunak also expressed confidence in the need for a global approach to regulation.
“Technology is evolving rapidly and we want to make sure our regulation can evolve as well,” he said.
The Prime Minister said that he would coordinate efforts with allies and expected a series of negotiations on this topic:
“I think the UK is leading the way and bringing people together, especially with regard to the technological regulation of the internet. […] Companies themselves have worked with us and hoped that we will provide these fences, as they do or have done in the field of AI.”
The US also pushed for AI to be discussed at the Hiroshima summit. At the same time, the leaders focused on the threat of disinformation due to the rapid development of tools like ChatGPT.
Sunak noted that he is not a supporter of a moratorium on the development of AI.
Recall that in May, the UK Competition and Markets Authority launched an investigation into the artificial intelligence industry.
In April, Sunak announced a £100m ($125m) investment to spur the development of “sovereign AI”.
In March, hundreds of experts signed a letter calling for the suspension of large language model development for six months.
