AI Safety Summit: Addressing Risks and Dangers

Leaders from 28 nations, including the U.S. and China, met in London to discuss the risks of artificial intelligence (AI). The agreement focused on the dangers posed by AI, such as deep fakes, biased information dissemination, economic disruption, and the potential for weaponizing AI. While some delegates expressed strong concerns, the agreement lacked specific proposals for regulating AI technologies. In the U.S., President Biden's executive order requires AI companies to share safety test results with the government, offers oversight for authentication processes, and includes privacy protections. However, concerns about left-wing bias in AI programs were not addressed in the summit or the executive order.
