India, along with 27 other countries and the European Union have signed the world's first agreement on artificial intelligence (AI) safety at a meeting in the United Kingdom. The agreement pledges to work together to assess the risks associated with artificial intelligence. A two-day 'AI Safety Summit 2023' began at the United Kingdom's World War II code-breaking centre in Bletchley Park yesterday. In a statement, the UK government said, the agreement will be known as the Bletchley Declaration.
As AI continues to reshape the world, understanding its potential risks becomes a fundamental responsibility. By acknowledging and addressing these dangers, we can harness AI's potential for the greater good while minimizing the negative impacts. Emphasizing ethics, accountability, transparency, and inclusivity in AI development and deployment will be crucial to creating a safer and more beneficial AI-powered future. Remember, AI is a tool that humans wield, and it is essential to use this tool responsibly for the collective well-being of humanity.
Against this backdrop, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the declaration is a landmark achievement that sees the world's greatest AI powers agree on the urgency behind understanding the risks of the technology which will help in ensuring the long-term future of our children and grandchildren.
Addressing the gathering at world's first global summit on Artificial Intelligence, Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said, India looks at AI with a prism of openness, safety, trust and accountability.
