After the summit, a strategy
What UK could do besides convening.
Happy Friday,
Today we're covering a new report by the Centre for British Progress which offers a "dominant" AI strategy for Britain after the King's summit yesterday. We've also got the latest on the AI Economics Institute and a look ahead to next week. It's only 14 weekends until Christmas, btw.
Question, tell me what you think about AI safety
The last two weeks have changed the terrain of the AI safety debate with ministers now opening the door to legislation. Increasingly the question is what type, how narrow, and when, rather than if, new rules governing AI's development will come.
The Morning Intelligence is bringing together an expert panel on Wednesday September 23rd at 10am to answer your questions. We'll be joined online by Michael Birtwistle from the Ada Lovelace Institute, Aidan Peppin, public policy manager at Cohere, and Kate Deniston, AI lawyer at Bird & Bird.
Happening Next Week 📆
Weekend plans: AI campaigners will protest outside the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade on Saturday afternoon. The Pull the Plug group, which also protested at Downing Street on Wednesday, say they want to "take back control from a handful of US tech companies overshadowing every aspect of our lives".
Brighton rocks: The Lib Dem's kick off their conference in Brighton tomorrow. The main tech policy motion is on Tuesday covering "Sovereignty in the Age of AI". It calls on the government to reduce dependence on foreign tech giants, expand AISI's remit and close a skills gap between state and private schools. There are plenty of tech events, Gavin Freeguard has done an excellent curation job here.
OpenAI hosts a breakfast at its King's Cross office on Tuesday morning for policymakers. It will demonstrate how to use its latest tools for policy research, speech writing and engagement. Also on Tuesday it's Civo Navigate at Convene in Bishopsgate with a big focus on sovereign cloud.
