This is the best summary I could come up with:
Asked about such a threat as he arrived at the summit on Thursday, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said “we can’t be certain” about the risks of AI but there is a possibility they could be on a similar scale to pandemics and nuclear war.
Mr Sunak held a flurry a bilateral meetings with United Nations secretary-general Antonio Guterres, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after arriving in Bletchley.
Ms Meloni said she was “proud of (her) friendship” with her UK counterpart and hopes they work together on artificial intelligence (AI) to “solve the biggest challenge that maybe we have in this millennium”.
Following the meetings, he sat down for a roundtable discussion with figures including Kamala Harris and Ms Meloni, telling the US vice-president that her country’s executive order on AI, signed just days before the summit, was “very welcome in this climate”.
“I wanted us to have a session to talk about this issue as leaders with shared values in private and hear from all of you about what you’re most excited about, what you’re concerned about and how we can look back in five years’ time on this moment and know that we made the right choices to harness all the benefits of AI in a way that will be safe for our communities but deliver enormous potential as well.”
It comes after the first day of the summit saw delegations from around the world, including the US and China, agree on the so-called “Bletchley declaration” – a statement on the risks surrounding the technology to be used as the starting point for a global conversation on the issue.
