<\/p>\nAs part of the transatlantic deal, the two countries will combine their capabilities and expertise to develop tests for the most advanced artificial intelligence models and systems, as well as create tools for risk evaluation.<\/p>\n
The plan is to perform at least one collaborative testing exercise using a publicly accessible model. Another aim is to explore personnel exchanges between the UK and the US AI Safety Institutes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have always been clear that ensuring the safe development of AI is a shared global issue,\u201d Michelle Donelan, UK Secretary of State for Science<\/a>, Innovation, and Technology<\/a>, said in a statement.<\/p>\n \u201cOnly by working together can we address the technology\u2019s risks head on and harness its enormous potential to help us all live easier and healthier lives.\u201d<\/p>\n TNW Conference 2024, June 20-21 – Join our Virtual Discount Hunt this week!<\/p>\n For a bit of Easter fun, we\u2019ve hidden a number of discount codes around our Conference website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The sentiment was echoed by Gina Raimondo, US Secretary of Commerce, who noted that the collaboration will accelerate the work of both countries \u201cacross the full spectrum of risks, whether to our national security or to our broader society.\u201d<\/p>\n The deal has sparked positive reactions across the European industry. According to Ekaterina Almasque, General<\/a> Partner at the VC firm OpenOcean, the agreement represents a significant step forward in particular for AI startups.<\/p>\n \u201cStartups in AI often encounter difficulties navigating the complex landscape of safety and ethics, such as sourcing ethical training data at a reasonable cost, which can impede their ability to drive innovation, scale, and create competitive products,\u201d Almasque said.<\/p>\n She believes that the UK-US collaboration provides a useful framework to address these challenges.<\/p>\n For Anita Schj\u00f8ll Abildgaard, CEO and co-founder of Iris.ai, this partnership is also key to establishing governance frameworks that keep pace with AI capabilities. But for such efforts to be effective, she warns that every stakeholder should be taken into account.<\/p>\n \u201cFailure to integrate the spectrum of stakeholders raises the risk of fragmented approaches taking hold across major regions,\u201d Schj\u00f8ll Abildgaard said.<\/p>\n \u201cEurope\u2019s vibrant ecosystem, from pioneering startups to industrial giants, offers a wealth of empirical learnings and risk assessments that should inform international AI safety standards and testing regimes.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
