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.”

Three ways to get a gratitude glow

By committing to at least one of these daily, you can bring more gratitude into your life, says Ong.

  • During your morning skincare routine, name five things you are thankful for about yourself.
  • As you finish your skincare routine, look yourself in the eye and speak an affirmation, such as: “I am grateful for every part of me, including my ability to take care of my skin.”
  • In the evening, take some deep breaths, notice how your skin feels, and listen for what your skin is grateful for.

The UN General Assembly President in quotes:

YEMEN: “The developments we have seen are promising. We really hope that the parties are going to respect the agreed ceasefire. I think that the sense of really having the political will to have a peace process is vital. There is a little bit of hope and the role that the UN has played is very important.”

PALESTINE: “There is no easy fix. We need to find the political will and comply with the resolutions that we have agreed upon.”

OMAN: “It is a very important country in our system. They have a very important role to play in terms of the balance and peace process of that particular part of the world, in that their position is neutral. That is why it is very important to have a dialogue with the Omani authorities.”

REFORM OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL: “This is complicated and it requires time. It is dependent on the effort that members want to put into the process. It is a process that has been going on for 25 years. That process is slow but the issue is huge. I really hope we will see some progress during my tenure.”
