British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will lead day two of the AI Safety Summit on Thursday by welcoming senior leaders to Bletchley Park and hosting two session.
The first will focus on international priorities for artificial intelligence (AI) in the next five years, with a small group of senior representatives from governments and bodies around the world.
They include the US, EU, Italy, France, Germany, Australia and the UN, as well as virtual attendance from Japan, South Korea, and Singapore.
Mr Sunak is expected to make the case for global responsibility to address the risks in order to seize the opportunities of AI.
The group will discuss the international collaboration needed to develop this in the coming years.
The second session will host companies at the forefront of AI, as well as academia and civil society, and focus on concrete action needed next year to ensure AI safety.
Those attending include leaders of major AI businesses such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Microsoft, Meta and xAI.
In this session, they will discuss the plan for state-backed testing and evaluation of AI models before they are released.
Last week, Mr Sunak announced the UK’s AI Safety Institute, which will examine, evaluate and test new types of AI to inform national and international policymaking.
On Wednesday, under the UK’s leadership, 28 countries including the US and China, and the EU, agreed for the first time on the opportunities, risks and need for international action on frontier AI, which are systems where we face the most urgent and dangerous risks.
“I believe there will be nothing more transformative to the futures of our children and grandchildren than technological advances like AI,” Mr Sunak said before the summit..
“We owe it to them to ensure AI develops in a safe and responsible way, gripping the risks it poses early enough in the process.
“The first-ever global AI Safety Summit led by the UK has already seen major AI powers sign up to the landmark Bletchley Declaration, agreeing on the shared responsibility to address the risks and urgently work together on frontier AI safety and research.
“The UK has led the way in this global conversation on AI safety, but no one country can tackle the risks alone.
“I’m looking forward to discussing this further with partners, so we can all keep our people safe and ensure future generations can reap the benefits of AI.”

Top tips
Create and maintain a strong bond between yourself and your child, through sensitivity, responsiveness, touch, talk and play. “The bond you have with your kids is the blueprint for the relationships they will have later on in life,” says Dr Sarah Rasmi, a psychologist.
Set a good example. Practise what you preach, so if you want to raise kind children, they need to see you being kind and hear you explaining to them what kindness is. So, “narrate your behaviour”.
Praise the positive rather than focusing on the negative. Catch them when they’re being good and acknowledge it.
Show empathy towards your child’s needs as well as your own. Take care of yourself so that you can be calm, loving and respectful, rather than angry and frustrated.
Be open to communication, goal-setting and problem-solving, says Dr Thoraiya Kanafani. “It is important to recognise that there is a fine line between positive parenting and becoming parents who overanalyse their children and provide more emotional context than what is in the child’s emotional development to understand.”

Farage on Muslim Brotherhood
Nigel Farage told Reform's annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
"We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country," he said. "Quite why we've been so gutless about this – both Labour and Conservative – I don't know.
“All across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.”
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat's findings was an assessment that “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” has “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a "possible indicator of extremism" but it would not be banned.

Islamophobia definition
A widely accepted definition was made by the All Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims in 2019: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.” It further defines it as “inciting hatred or violence against Muslims”.
