To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what discussions she has had with her international counterparts on AI safety.
Michelle Donelan
The Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology
I have had several such discussions including at the AI Safety Summit, during which I was pleased to meet with more than 20 Digital Ministers.
I have since engaged with my counterparts from Australia, Japan, France, the US and the EU, and I have recently met with my Canadian counterpart to sign an important new agreement on compute collaboration.
I will continue to discuss AI safety as we work towards the next Safety Summits hosted by the Republic of Korea and France.
