South Korea will host the second artificial intelligence (AI) safety summit on May 21–22, following Britain's hosting of the first one at Bletchley Park in November.
Six months after Britain hosted the
first worldwide AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park, South Korea will hold the
second one from May 21–22. Government representatives affirmed in a statement
issued on Friday that the programme will build upon the "Bletchley
Declaration," a pact struck by 28 nations—including the US and China—to
cooperate on AI safety.
"The AI Safety Summit held in Bletchley last year marked a milestone in
which the government, industry, and academia came together to address the
potential risks of AI, and I am pleased that the Republic of Korea takes the
baton from the UK," stated Lee Jong-Ho, South Korea's minister of science
and information and communication technology.
Why does it matter?
South Korea and the UK are organizing
the next summit, which will be primarily conducted online and include
participation from governments, AI businesses, civic society, and academic
institutions. Six months from now, France will play home to the next
face-to-face summit. The South Korea event will explore the future
possibilities of the most sophisticated AI models, building on the legacy of
Bletchley Park. The International Scientific Report on Advanced AI Safety,
which was created by a panel of thirty-two international experts, will be made
public prior to the summit in Korea.
