One of the main themes of the meeting was ‘AI for good’, with particular emphasis on the potential transformation of important public services such as the NHS and education systems.

In turn, this meeting will address risk areas such as misuse and the danger of loss of control over advanced AI systems.

The need for this global discussion is intensifying due to the rapid development of AI, especially in frontier regions, and the potential threats it may pose.

According to the UK Government, we are in a “turning point in human history”where deciding not to act can mean missing out on major opportunities.

The UK government announced a series of webinars and online meetings, led by figures such as the Minister for Technology, Michelle Donelanand representatives of the prime minister, Matt Clifford.

“We are weeks away from having important conversations about the direction and challenges of AI. It is critical to combat the abuse of AI and seize opportunities to improve our public services. I am determined to keep the public informed and involved in these decisions,” he said. Donelan said.
