During a meeting this week with U.S. President Joe Biden, U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak plans to discuss AI's risks and a proposed "Cern for AI," according to FT. Sunak is also expected to raise the idea of a global AI regulatory body, potentially based on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Last week, Sunak said he thought the U.K. could "play a leadership role" in AI and is well-positioned to bring together allies in the effort. - Insiders have suggested the country could be a host for a new international regulatory body. Sunak plans to host a global summit in London this fall to discuss international AI regulations.
- While Sunak hasn't endorsed any specific regulations, his two-day visit to Washington is expected to be an opportunity to explore ideas concerning AI rules.
- Both CERN and the IAEA have been cited as examples for a potential regulatory AI body as world leaders in the industry call for stricter regulation.
- Alongside AI, Sunak and Biden are expected to discuss the war in Ukraine, security, energy and climate change, trade, and other topics during their meeting on June 7-8.
The update comes after U.S. and EU officials announced plans to release a voluntary "code of conduct" for AI. - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the allies agreed there's "fierce urgency" to adopt the code, which will be open to all "like-minded countries."
