US announces 'strongest global action yet' on AI safety
By Shiona McCallum & Zoe KleinmanTechnology team
The White House has announced what it is calling " The Most significant actions ever taken by any government to advance The Field of AI safety. "
An executive order from President Biden requires Artificial Intelligence (AI) developers to share safety results with the US government.
It places the US at the centre of the global debate on AI governance.
However, this is a position the UK government hoped a summit it is hosting This Week would allow it to hold.
The two-day meeting begins on 1 November at Bletchley Park. It has been prompted by concerns that the rapid advance of AI systems could lead to problems such as the development of more deadly bio-weapons and more paralysing cyber attacks.
Alex Krasodomski, senior research associate at Chatham House , told The Bbc the executive order showed the US considered itself the leader in terms of How To address such threats.
In a statement, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Bruce Reed said the US had issued " The Strongest set of actions any government in The World has ever taken on AI safety, security, and trust".
The measures include
The Biden administration is also Taking Steps to beef up its AI workforce. From today, workers with AI expertise can find relevant openings in the federal government on AI. gov.
Does this undermine the UK gathering?Mr Krasodomski said The Order was " really important" but one that " doesn't necessarily run in-line with the UK's objectives and aims for The Summit ".
" The UK summit is referenced in the executive order. But it's mentioned under the heading of 'advancing American leadership Abroad ' - indicating that the US very clearly knows that it is the big player here alongside China but more precisely, it is the US companies that are really driving forward, " He Said .
Mr Krasodomski added: " It's difficult to put together a small, highly technical summit but I think clearly if this technology is going to have significant Global Impact there's going to be there have to be a ton of other kinds of work and engagement with countries around The World " He Said .
US Vice President Kamala Harris and top executives from the US tech giants are arriving in the UK This Week to discuss AI safety at the UK government's AI Summit, which it has billed as a " world first".
The Summit , hosted by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak , will Focus On growing fears about the implications of so-called frontier AI. President of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will also be in attendance.
The UK is determined to position itself as a global leader in the space of trying to minimise the risks posed by this powerful technology.
But the EU is in The Process of passing an AI act, China has already devised A Number of strict AI rules and and now the US has issued this order.
On top of that, according to the Reuters news agency, The Group of Seven (G7) industrial countries are reportedly agreeing a code of conduct for companies developing advanced AI systems.
All That activity raises the question of how much will actually be left up for discussion at Bletchley Park This Week .
