South Korea and the UK will co-host the second Global AI Summit in Seoul this week, as the breathtaking pace of innovation since the first AI Summit in November leaves governments struggling to keep up with a growing range of risks .
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol will oversee a virtual summit on Tuesday, amid calls for better regulation of artificial intelligence despite sharp differences over how the technology could impact humanity.
“While positive efforts have been made to shape global AI governance, significant gaps still remain,” Sunak and Yoon said in a joint opinion article published in South Korea’s British newspaper JoongAng Ilbo, entitled ‘Only global AI standards can end a race to the bottom.”
