Google DeepMind<\/a>, OpenAI<\/a>, and Anthropic will grant the UK<\/a> government \u201cearly or priority access\u201d to their models for research and safety purposes, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak revealed<\/a> during his speech at London Tech Week.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s still unclear what type of data the tech<\/a> companies have pledged to share, the aim of the move is to help the government better understand and evaluate the opportunities and risks of these systems.<\/p>\n

Sunak re-emphasised the \u201cextraordinary potential of AI<\/a>\u201d in sectors such as healthcare, education, and public services, aligning the development of artificial intelligence with the UK\u2019s goal to become \u201cthe best country in the world for tech.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the past few months, the government has been ramping efforts to turn the UK into an AI-enabled country and economy. In March, it announced an initial \u00a3100m in funding to establish a designated AI taskforce<\/a> for the development of foundation models \u2014 following a nearly \u00a31bn investment<\/a> in a new exascale computer and a dedicated AI Research Resource.<\/p>\n

Amidst global concerns<\/a> over the serious threats<\/a> AI poses to humanity, the UK has suggested a \u201cpro-innovation\u201d approach to AI regulation. Unlike the EU\u2019s AI Act<\/a>, the white paper<\/a> presented by the British government doesn\u2019t support the introduction of fixed laws or a designated regulatory body. Instead, it proposes \u201cflexible, context-specific principles\u201d that fall under the oversight of existing regulators.<\/p>\n

At London Tech Week, Sunak acknowledged people\u2019s fears and stressed the UK\u2019s ambition to become \u201cnot just the intellectual home, but [also] the geographical home of global AI safety regulation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The British Prime Minister didn\u2019t disclose any details on regulatory developments, but revealed that the UK will host the first ever Global Summit on AI Safety later this year.<\/p>\n

Close collaboration with tech giants active in the field, such as DeepMind and OpenAI, could indeed provide the UK with a significant strategic advantage in evaluating and regulating these systems, before legislation requires transparency elsewhere in Europe.<\/p>\n

But involving such companies in the conversation also comes with a risk. In lack of an already established legal framework, they could influence safety approaches around their technologies. This means that the UK would need to ensure that any outcomes of this private-public partnership won\u2019t favour the companies\u2019 agenda, but create guardrails for AI\u2019s safe development.<\/span><\/p>\n
