The UK and US have signed a landmark deal to work together on testing advanced artificial intelligence (AI).

The agreement signed on Monday says both countries will work together on developing "robust" methods for evaluating the safety of AI tools and the systems that underpin them.

It is the first bilateral agreement of its kind.

UK tech minister Michelle Donelan said it is "the defining technology challenge of our generation".

"We have always been clear that ensuring the safe development of AI is a shared global issue," she said.



Very glad to see this. Every country is going to have to grapple with the issue of how best to harness the benefits of AI whilst mitigating the risks - so, I'm glad to see international cooperation on the issue.

Let's hope we get more deals like this!

Only thing is that unlike the EU’s AI act, regulators won’t force companies to share data they don’t want to, such as data used to train their tools and the environmental damage caused by such use of AI. 

What’s your view on this? I feel safety overrides privacy implications in this case and perhaps they should be required to share such info, with an NDA if the company so desires.

Well, the specifics are likely to be very complicated, so I'll leave that to people who are far more well-versed in AI and legislation than I am :lol: .

As for "safety overrides privacy implications", I think that principle should apply mostly to children (when it's adults, I think there should be more room for them to take their own risks if they choose to do so). Though of course, an effort should be made to improve both safety and privacy as far as that's possible!

Sure I believe in free will, however there certainly should be data collection techniques for business usage imo as consumers theoretically won’t have a choice if all businesses start using AI

Well, there are already pretty strict rules governing data collection and usage (GDPR, for example) - so, presumably, AI will be bound by all of that as well :P .

Sorry, I’m talking more about bias and whether the data will be effective and potentially of any risk.

If you re-read the article, those concerns are cited ;)

Great news!

Personally, I have no interest in using AI for anything ever. I hate AI and worry it will cause the world problems in the future.
