British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, OpenAI's Sam Altman, Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis, and Anthropic's Dario Amodei discuss the risks AI poses, from disinformation and national security to existential threats

LONDON, United Kingdom –  British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the bosses of leading AI companies OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic will work together to ensure society benefits from the transformational technology, they said in a statement after meeting on Wednesday, May 24.

Sunak and the tech leaders – OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Google DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis, and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei – discussed the risks AI poses, from disinformation and national security to existential threats, according to the statement.

They also discussed safety measures, voluntary actions that labs are considering to manage the risks, and the possible avenues for international collaboration on AI safety and regulation, it added.

Britain said in March it would split responsibility for governing AI between its existing regulators for human rights, health and safety, and competition, rather than creating a new body dedicated to the technology. – Rappler.com
