China, the United States, the EU and another 25 countries signed a first international declaration on Wednesday on the “safe” development of artificial intelligence (AI). The so-called Bletchley Declaration recognizes that the rapid rise of technology entails risks.
“There is the potential for serious, even catastrophic harm, intentional or unintentional, resulting from the key capabilities of these AI models,” the statement said.
The 28 participating countries therefore agree on “the urgent need to collectively understand and manage the potential risks of AI,” through “a new global effort aimed at ensuring that AI is used in a safe and responsible manner.” way is developed and deployed.”
The summit does not lay the foundation for international legislation on AI, but aims to ‘lay out a path forward’.
Michelle Donelan, British Minister for Technology.
The declaration was agreed during a summit in Bletchley Park, north of the British capital London. The aim of the summit is “to demonstrate for the first time the world coming together to identify problems and highlight opportunities,” said Michelle Donelan, the UK’s Technology Secretary.
The summit does not lay the foundation for international legislation on AI, but aims to “map out a path to follow,” the minister added. For example, two more international top conferences on AI will follow in the next twelve months. There will be a summit in South Korea within six months, and France will organize a meeting in a year.
With generative AI, texts, sounds or images can be produced within seconds. The technology has grown exponentially in recent years. It is hoped that enormous progress can be made in areas such as medicine and education, but according to the British government, the technology also threatens to destabilize societies or escape human control.
