Britain publishes ‘Bletchley Declaration’ on AI safety

Britain on Wednesday published a “Bletchley Declaration”, agreed with countries including the United States and China, aimed at boosting global efforts to cooperate on artificial intelligence (AI) safety.
The declaration, by 28 countries in total, was published on the opening day of the AI Safety Summit hosted in Bletchley Park, central England.
“The Declaration fulfils key summit objectives in establishing shared agreement and responsibility on the risks, opportunities and a forward process for international collaboration on frontier AI safety and research, particularly through greater scientific collaboration,” Britain said in a separate statement accompanying the declaration.
The declaration encouraged transparency and accountability from actors developing frontier AI technology on their plans to measure, monitor and mitigate potentially harmful capabilities.
