Sunak Launches UK's First AI Safety Institute to Examine Risks and Regulation of Emerging Technologies

Rishi Sunak announced the establishment of the world's first AI safety institute in the UK to examine and test new AI models.

The UK will host a global AI safety summit next week with politicians and tech leaders to discuss AI regulation.

Sunak said the government will not rush to regulate AI but wants to encourage innovation while assessing risks like national security.

The PM warned AI brings new dangers like assisting in weapons design, cyberattacks, disinformation that must be addressed.

A new government paper outlined alarming AI scenarios but said many experts consider the risks very low currently.
