British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said Thursday that achievements at the first international AI Safety Summit would “tip the balance in favor of humanity” in the race to contain the risks from rapid advances in cutting-edge artificial intelligence.

Speaking after two days of talks at Bletchley Park, a former codebreaking spy base near London, Sunak said agreements struck at the meeting of politicians, researchers and business leaders “show that we have both the political will and the capability to control this technology, and secure its benefits for the long term.”

Vice President Kamala Harris attended the summit, stressing steps the Biden administration has taken to hold tech firms to account. She said Thursday that the United States' “bold action” should be “inspiring and instructive to other nations.” “The speed and reach of today's AI technology are unprecedented,” Guterres said. “The paradox is that in the future, it will never move as slowly as today. The gap between AI and its governance is wide and growing.”

Sunak said likeminded governments and AI companies also had reached a “landmark agreement” to work together on testing the safety of AI models before they're released to the public. Leading AI companies at the meeting including OpenAI, Google's DeepMind, Anthropic and Inflection AI have agreed to “deepen access” to their frontier AI models, he said.
