Industry and world leaders arrived in the English town of Bletchley to participate in the two-day-long artificial intelligence (AI) safety summit. Hosted by Britain\u2019s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the summit aimed at addressing the risks of the rapidly developing technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two-day (November 1-2) meeting was held at Bletchley Park\u00a0\u2014 once the top-secret home of the World War II Codebreakers and the iconic birthplace of modern computing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the summit, an AI safety declaration<\/span><\/a> was signed by the leaders and representatives of 28 different countries. Named the Bletchley Declaration, the statement aims to tackle the risks of so-called frontier AI models – the large language models developed by companies such as OpenAI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the UK government, the declaration affirms that whilst safety must be considered across the AI lifecycle, actors developing frontier AI capabilities<\/span><\/a>, in particular those AI systems that are unusually powerful and potentially harmful, have a particularly strong responsibility for ensuring the safety of these AI systems, including through systems for safety testing, through evaluations, and by other appropriate measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

28 countries & the EU have signed The Bletchley Declaration at the #AISafetySummit<\/a> agreeing to:

\u26a0\ufe0f identify the key opportunities & risks of AI
\ud83c\udf0d build a global understanding of Frontier AI risks
\ud83d\udd2c collaborate on AI scientific research
