Read our privacy policy World leaders are expected to adopt a new agreement on artificial intelligence when they gather virtually Tuesday to discuss AI’s potential risks but also ways to promote its benefits and innovation. “It is just six months since world leaders met at Bletchley, but even in this short space of time, the landscape of AI has changed dramatically,” Yoon and Sunak said in a joint article published in South Korea’s JoongAng Ilbo newspaper and the U.K.’s online inews site on Monday. “The pace of change will only continue to accelerate, so our work must accelerate too.” While the U.K. meeting centered on AI safety issues, the agenda for this week’s gathering was expanded to also include “innovation and inclusivity,” Wang Yun-jong, a deputy director of national security in South Korea, told reporters Monday. China doesn’t plan to participate in the virtual summit though it will send a representative to Wednesday's in-person meeting, the South Korean presidential office said.
