Sunak: Britain to Host First Global Summit on Artificial Intelligence

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that the United Kingdom will host this year the first Global Summit on Artificial Intelligence, in an attempt to find a common approach for countries to reduce the risks related to modern technology.

"Artificial intelligence has amazing potential to change our lives for the better, but we have to make sure it is developed and used safely," Sunak said ahead of talks with US President Joe Biden at the White House.

And the British Prime Minister continued, "Throughout history, we have invented modern revolutionary technologies and harnessed them for the good of humanity. And this is what we must do again."

The summit is expected to take place in the fall and bring together "like-minded countries" to devise an organizational response, according to Sunak's spokesman, following a call last month by the Group of Seven in Japan.
