The AI Safety Summit was an international conference discussing the safety and regulation of artificial intelligence. It was held at Bletchley Park, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, on 1–2 November 2023.[2] It was the first ever global summit on artificial intelligence, and is planned to become a recurring event.

Background

The prime minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak, has made AI one of the priorities of his government,[3] announcing that the UK would host a global AI Safety conference in autumn 2023.[4]

Venue

Bletchley Park was a World War II codebreaking facility established by the British government on the site of a Victorian manor and is in the British city of Milton Keynes. It has played an important role in the history of computing, with some of the first modern computers being built at the facility.[5]

Agenda

The tech entrepreneur Elon Musk and Sunak did a live interview on AI safety on 2 November on X.[6]

Outcomes

28 countries at the summit, including the United States, China, and the European Union, have issued an agreement known as the Bletchley Declaration,[7] calling for international co-operation to manage the challenges and risks of artificial intelligence.[8] Emphasis has been placed on regulating "Frontier AI", a term for the latest and most powerful AI systems.[9] Concerns that have been raised at the summit include the potential use of AI for terrorism, criminal activity, and warfare,[10] as well as existential risk posed to humanity as a whole.

The president of the United States, Joe Biden, signed an executive order requiring AI developers to share safety results with the US government.[11] The US government also announced the creation of an American AI Safety Institute, as part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology.[12]

Future

The next AI Safety Summit is planned to be hosted by South Korea in mid-2024, followed by France around late-2024.[13]
