LONDON:The UK and the Republic of Korea are forging ahead with plans for the next wave of global discussions on safe development of artificial intelligence, with the AI Seoul Summit set for May 21 and 22.
The summit will spearhead discussions on AI safety, addressing the potential capabilities of the most advanced AI models, building on the Bletchley Declaration and wider agreements which were reached at the AI Safety Summit in the UK last November, which included commitments from developers on AI safety.
Participating countries will discuss how the technology can be made more inclusive, ensuring the benefits and opportunities of AI are shared equally – and how attendees can further advance innovation.
AI innovations have already helped to realise important breakthroughs in areas such as healthcare and drug discovery, and are being used to increasing effect in other settings such as education and tackling climate change.
Day one of the AI Seoul Summit will see a virtual leaders’ session co-chaired by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Republic of Korea President Yoon Suk Yeol. A select number of global industry leaders will also be invited, to update on how they are fulfilling the commitments made at Bletchley Park to ensure the safety of their models. This comes ahead of an in-person meeting of Digital Ministers on the second day, which is cohosted by UK Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan, and Korean Minister of Science and ICT Lee Jong-Ho.
This round of talks comes at a critical time for the technology, with increasingly capable and advanced AI models expected
