The British prime minister on why the UK decided to establish an AI Safety Institute
Rishi Sunak: 'AI can help solve world hunger by preventing crop failures and making it cheaper and easier to grow food. It can help accelerate the transition to net zero.'

Like the coming of electricity or the birth of the internet, it will bring new knowledge, new opportunities for economic growth, new advances in human capability, and the chance to solve global problems we once thought beyond us.
But like previous waves of technology, AI also brings new dangers and new fears. So, if we want our children and grandchildren to benefit from all the opportunities of AI, we must act – and act now – to give people peace of mind about the risks.Microsoft backs AI skills training programme But even if the very worst risks are unlikely to happen, they would be incredibly serious if they do. So, leaders around the world, no matter our differences on other issues, have a responsibility to recognise those risks, come together, and act. Not least because many of the loudest warnings about AI have come from the people building this technology themselves.
But AI does not respect borders. No country can make AI safe on its own. So our second step must be to increase international co-operation. That starts this week at the first ever Global AI Safety Summit, which I’m proud the UK is hosting.
