Elon Musk is set to attend an international summit on artificial intelligence (AI) in the UK this week. The event, taking place at Bletchley Park, aims to gather AI experts and global leaders to discuss the potential risks associated with AI. UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced that he will conduct a live interview with Musk after the summit. US Vice-President Kamala Harris and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are also scheduled to attend, along with tech leaders such as Sam Altman from Open AI and Nick Clegg from Meta. Yoshua Bengio, a prominent AI researcher, has confirmed his presence at the event. The summit comes at a time when recent advancements in AI have been hailed as both revolutionary and dangerous, raising concerns about job losses and the spread of disinformation. President Joe Biden recently signed an executive order requiring AI developers to share safety results with the US government, but Musk may argue for even stricter regulations. In March, Musk signed an open letter calling for a pause in "Giant AI Experiments" and suggested the establishment of a regulatory body to ensure the safety of AI. Additionally, Musk has criticized AI companies for using vast amounts of data to train chatbots, highlighting the potential implications for privacy and data protection.
