Read our privacy policy Elon Musk has mocked politicians at the AI summit ahead of a headlining interview with Rishi Sunak. Mr Musk is one of the most high-profile guests at the UK’s AI Safety Summit, which the government hopes will lead to new responsible uses of artificial intelligence and highlight Britain’s role in developing it. Ahead of the second day of the summit, Rishi Sunak said the task of monitoring the risks posed by AI could not be left to tech firms alone. “We owe it to them to ensure AI develops in a safe and responsible way, gripping the risks it poses early enough in the process.” It comes after the first day of the summit saw delegations from around the world, including the US and China, agree on the so-called “Bletchley declaration” - a statement on the risks surrounding the technology to be used as the starting point for a global conversation on the issue.
