The US & Britain Reach Agreement On AI Regulation 

Uploaded on 2024-04-05 in TECHNOLOGY-Key Areas-Artificial Intelligence, NEWS-Cybersecurity News, FREE TO VIEW

The US and UK on Monday have signed a deal to work together on testing advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI).

This agreement, the first of its kind, is in the form of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and is the  world’s first bilateral deal on AI, as governments around the world seek to control and regulate emerging AI technology.

The partnership will take effect immediately and is intended to allow both countries regulatory authorities  to work seamlessly with each other. 

That MoU signatory event was attended by leaders in the field of AI, including OpenAI’s  Sam Altman, Google DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis and Elon Musk. “AI continues to develop rapidly, and both governments recognise the need to act now to ensure a shared approach to AI safety which can keep pace with the technology’s emerging risks. As the countries strengthen their partnership on AI safety, they have also committed to develop similar partnerships with other countries to promote AI safety across the globe” the US Dept. of Commerce announced. 

Britain's Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology Michelle Donelan noted that the agreement builds upon commitments made at the AI Safety Summit held in Bletchley Park in November 2023.  It also saw both the UK and US create dedicated AI Safety Institutes, to evaluate the safety of both open and closed-source AI systems. “The UK and US AI Safety Institutes have laid out plans to build a common approach to AI safety testing and to share their capabilities to ensure these risks can be tackled effectively.... They intend to perform at least one joint testing exercise on a publicly accessible model. They also intend to tap into a collective pool of expertise by exploring personnel exchanges between the Institutes, “ the British Government stated.

The terms of the MoU will commit both  the UK and US to  create AI Safety Institutes which aim to evaluate open and closed-source AI systems.

The AI industry has been extremely active, with competition between the biggest AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and many other new entrants, remains ferocious and regulators have yet to curtail anything these companies are trying to achieve.

Unlike China, where technology companies are required to disclose their innermost working, US and British regulators have not demanded access to information the AI firms are unwilling to share, such as the data used to train their tools and companies.

AI firms in these countries are  currently regulating themselves and it is not though that  this MoU slow down the progress of AI, but rather to make sure principles of AI safety are embedded within it as the industry expands .
