November 23, 2023
On 26 October, the UK prime minister gave a speech on the AI Safety Summit to be hosted in the UK on 1 and 2 November. The summit will bring together representatives from large lab AI companies, world governments and civil society to discuss safety risks arising from frontier AI. Frontier AI is “highly capable general purpose AI models that can perform a wide variety of tasks that match or exceed the capabilities present in today’s most advanced models” (cutting edge foundation models) and the safety risks are cast quite widely, ranging from artificial general intelligence threatening our existence to the risk of deep fakes degrading trust in digital information sources.
