Importance of Safe and Responsible AI Development
Countries attending the AI Safety Summit emphasize the need for safe and responsible development, deployment, and use of AI. They underscore the importance of designing AI in a human-centric, trustworthy, and responsible manner to ensure global opportunities are leveraged for the betterment of all. Recognizing the wide-reaching impact of AI in various aspects of daily life such as healthcare, education, and justice, the countries stress the urgency of acting now to harness the transformative potential of AI for the benefit of societies worldwide while mitigating risks.
Risk Mitigation in Frontier AI Development
Countries acknowledge the significant risks associated with frontier AI capabilities, particularly in areas like cybersecurity and biotechnology. They highlight the importance of understanding and addressing risks in highly capable AI models to prevent intentional misuse or unintended control issues that may lead to serious harm. Emphasizing the need for international cooperation, they commit to working inclusively to cultivate trustworthy and responsible AI while enhancing safety measures, accountability, and transparency in the development and deployment of AI systems, especially those with potentially harmful capabilities.
This statement was released by the UK Government as part of their Global AI Safety Summit from November 2023. It notes that frontier models pose unique risks and calls for international cooperation, finding that "many risks arising from AI are inherently international in nature, and so are best addressed through international cooperation." It was signed by multiple governments, including the US, EU, India, and China.
