UK, US, EU and China sign declaration of AI’s ‘catastrophic’ danger

  • The UK, US, EU, and China have signed the Bletchley declaration, acknowledging the potential catastrophic risks posed by artificial intelligence (AI).

  • The declaration does not establish an international testing hub in the UK but sets a template for future collaboration.

  • The signatories recognize the potential for serious harm from AI models and agree on the urgency of understanding the risks.

  • The UK Prime Minister and the UK Technology Secretary welcomed the declaration, emphasizing the need for collective action in addressing the risks of frontier AI.

  • The declaration marks a diplomatic success for the UK, which hosted the AI safety summit.

  • There is little international agreement on global AI regulations or who should develop them.

  • The US announced the creation of a separate American AI Safety Institute, while the EU is in the process of passing an AI bill.

  • The UK government plans to properly understand the problem before applying solutions and denies falling behind international counterparts.
