U.S. and U.K. Form Partnership to Collaborate on AI Safety Testing
• U.S. and U.K. governments signed an agreement to collaborate on AI safety testing, formalizing a partnership between their national AI Safety Institutes.
• The institutes will develop a common approach to testing, exchange employees and information, and conduct a joint testing exercise.
• This supports efforts by lawmakers and companies to mitigate risks from rapidly advancing AI systems.
• The U.K. has taken a leading role marshaling international response on "frontier AI", while the U.S. commits more resources across government.
• The countries aim to develop similar partnerships with other nations given AI doesn't respect geographical boundaries.
