The letter, issued a week before the international AI Safety Summit in London, lists measures that governments and companies should take to address AI risks.
Artificial intelligence companies and governments should allocate at least one third of their AI research and development funding to ensuring the safety and ethical use of the systems, top AI researchers said in a paper on Tuesday.
Britain pitched itself to the world Friday as a ready leader in shaping an international response to the rise of artificial intelligence, with Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden telling the U.N. General Assembly his country was "determined to be in the vanguard."
This comes in the absence of regulatory frameworks around artificial intelligence (AI) in the country so far, while companies believe ethical safeguards are key to fostering trust in AI solutions.
