UK government to hold world’s first summit on AI safety in November

The UK government has announced the UK AI Safety Summit will be held at Bletchley Park in November, where international governments, leading AI companies and experts in research will unite for crucial talks, the British High Commission said in a press release.

The major global event will take place on November 1-2 to consider the risks of AI, especially at the frontier of development, and discuss how they can be mitigated through internationally coordinated action.

Frontier AI models hold enormous potential to power economic growth, drive scientific progress and wider public benefits, while also posing potential safety risks if not developed responsibly.
