Elon Musk’s Attendance Confirmed at UK AI Summit.
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced a live interview with the tech billionaire following the upcoming global AI summit at Bletchley Park. The summit aims to convene AI experts and world leaders for discussions on the potential risks associated with artificial intelligence. Notable attendees include US Vice-President Kamala Harris, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Open AI’s Sam Altman, Meta’s Nick Clegg, and the distinguished AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio. The event will focus on the profound implications of recent AI advancements, from their revolutionary potential to their associated dangers, such as job displacement and the proliferation of disinformation.
On a related note, President Joe Biden has signed an executive order mandating AI developers to share safety findings with the US government. However, Elon Musk may advocate for even stricter measures, building on his previous call for a pause in “Giant AI Experiments.” In a recent BBC interview, Musk emphasized his decade-long concern for AI safety and proposed the establishment of a regulatory body to oversee AI, ensuring it poses no threats to the public. Additionally, Musk has been critical of AI companies for their data usage in training chatbots, particularly the mass data scraping from diverse sources.
