We need global cooperation on AI, global AI safety summit soon: Rishi Sunak

Artificial intelligence (AI) doesn’t respect traditional national borders so we urgently need global cooperation between nations and labs, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Monday.

Addressing the ‘London Tech Week 2023’ here, he said that he wants to make the UK not just the intellectual home but the geographical home of global AI safety regulation.

“Just as we unite through the Conference of the Parties (COP) to tackle climate change, the UK will host the first ever Summit on global AI Safety later this year,” the Prime Minister announced.
