May 19 news, according to foreign media quoted insiders said that the British government plans to invite a number of well-known artificial intelligence companies to attend the artificial intelligence summit. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is currently working on a policy to manage the risks and benefits of the technology.

The summit, which could be held as early as this month, could include Sam Altman, OpenAI chief executive, DeepMind, a unit of Alphabet, Google's parent company, and the head of Anthropic, an artificial intelligence start-up, according to people familiar with the matter. Sunak himself may also attend the summit in person.

Anthropic, which recently opened an office in London, declined to comment. Representatives of OpenAI and DeepMind didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Altman is expected to travel to London in the next few days to attend OpenAI's event at University College London.

Britain is working to support fast-growing artificial intelligence technology while ensuring that it is not used for evil purposes. In testimony to the U.S. Senate this week, Altman acknowledged that artificial intelligence might make our lives easier, but he also warned of the risks the technology poses to the labor market and elections.

A representative of the UK Department of Science, Innovation and Technology did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In an interview on Thursday, when asked if he planned to meet with Altman, Paul Scully, the UK science and technology secretary, said such talks needed to take place at the level of the secretary of state (deputy minister).

"as a global leader in the development of artificial intelligence, we are studying how to use this position to engage the international community to ensure that we can set certain standards and basic rules," Scully said. you have to listen to practitioners, industry leaders and academia. I think we also need ethicists and experts in other fields to participate in this dialogue because it is a thorny issue. "
