Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Monday Britain could be the global home of artificial intelligence regulation as he pitched London as a tech hub to industry leaders and urged them to grasp the opportunities and challenges of AI.

Sunak's government will host a summit on the risks and regulation of AI later this year, and on Monday he said the "tectonic plates of technology are shifting."

"I want to make the UK not just the intellectual home, but the geographical home of global AI safety regulation." Sunak said the tech sector was at the heart of his priority to grow the economy, and while he acknowledged concerns that employees were worried about their jobs, previous technologies had presented similar challenges.Britain in March opted to split regulatory responsibility for AI between those bodies that oversee human rights, health and safety, and competition, rather than creating a new body dedicated to the technology.
