Speaking ahead of the second day of Rishi Sunak’s AI Safety Summit — when the prime minister is set to have a sit-down with Elon Musk — Michelle Donelan said such a scenario would have the “gravest ramifications”. On Thursday, the prime minister will welcome senior business chiefs and world leaders to Bletchley Park, where British codebreakers including Alan Turing broke the Enigma code used by the Nazis during the Second World War. Ahead of Thursday’s meetings, Mr Sunak said the world owes it to younger generations to grip the risks of AI “early enough”. He added: “The UK has led the way in this global conversation on AI safety, but no one country can tackle the risks alone.” And on Thursday Morning, Ms Donelan said a Terminator-style "loss of control" over artificial intelligence was the biggest concern.
