_ A leaked document reveals that the UK's plans to establish a new global AI research body have been scaled back.
Nations participating in the UK's AI safety summit will instead signal that further scientific study of AI risks can be carried out through existing efforts, such as the United Nations and Global Partnership on AI.
The document, described as the 'final version of the communiqué,' suggests a setback for the UK government, which had hoped to establish the new research body at its flagship AI Safety Summit.
The document also shows changes in wording, including a reference to a network that 'encompasses and complements' existing efforts, as well as the deletion of references to UNESCO's Recommendation on the Ethics of AI and the G20.
The final communiqué also highlights the importance of proportionate governance policies and cooperation on approaches such as common principles and codes of conduct.
