UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is hosting the AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park to discuss the potential and problems of artificial intelligence. The summit aims to establish global principles for developing and deploying AI models. In addition to the summit, there are several fringe events and UK government announcements on AI.
The UK government is testing a chatbot called Gov.uk Chat, which can answer questions about tax, student loans, and benefits. The chatbot will be trained on the information available on the Gov.uk website but will not use citizens’ private data to ensure data privacy.
Sunak has announced a £100 million fund for the development of AI tools in healthcare. The AI Life Sciences Accelerator Mission will focus on using AI to find treatments for cancer and slow down dementia. Academia, industry, and clinicians will be invited to propose projects for funding.
Some have raised concerns about industry giant’s controlling the summit, as the guest list is limited. An open letter to Sunak warns about the marginalization of communities and workers most affected by AI. There are concerns that the summit will focus on fuzzy long-term risks and be dominated by industry interests.
The UK government is expected to make more AI pronouncements, although they will face competition from the recent U.S. executive order on AI. The US executive order requires every federal agency to appoint a chief AI officer to prevent AI discrimination within the government.
