UK, US, China sign AI safety pledge at UK summit

US Vice President Kamala Harris urged in a speech in London on Wednesday that “we seize this moment” and “work together to build a future where AI creates opportunity and advances equity” while protecting rights.

She will attend the summit on Thursday, but lawyer and investigator Cori Crider, a campaigner for “fair” technology, warned that the event could be “a bit of a talking shop.

“If he were serious about safety, Rishi Sunak needed to roll deep and bring all of the UK majors and regulators in tow and he hasn’t,” she told a San Francisco news conference.

Ahead of the meeting, the G7 powers agreed on Monday on a non-binding “code of conduct” for companies developing the most advanced AI systems.

In Rome, ministers from Italy, Germany and France called for an “innovation-friendly approach” to regulating AI in Europe, as they urged more investment to challenge the United States and China.

China was also due to be present, but it was unclear at what level.
