Senior Silicon Valley executives will attend Rishi Sunak's artificial intelligence (AI) safety summit to support the Prime Minister's plans to make the UK a world leader in regulating technology.
Leaders from the world's three largest artificial intelligence labs — OpenAI, Google Deepmind and Anthropic — are expected to attend the two-day summit next week.
Confirmation was received by Sam Altman from OpenAI, Demis Hassabis from Deepmind and Anthropic. Dario Amodei will be seen as a key player in the government's efforts to ensure the safe development of artificial intelligence models.
Elon Musk's startup xAI is expected to send a representative, while Alex Karp, Aidan Gomez and Emad Mostak will also attend the event participation of heads of companies involved in artificial intelligence, Palantir, Cohere and Stability.
Meta and Microsoft are expected to send policy chiefs Sir Nick Clegg and Brad Smith, while Google will be represented by James Manyika, head of technology and society.
Ahead of the summit, companies were asked to endorse a statement expected to be signed by world leaders at the event.
Officials from the US, EU, G-7 countries and China have been negotiating the wording of the statement over the past few weeks. It is expected to be finalized in the coming days and will include a warning that the AI risks causing «catastrophic harm» if left unchecked.
Companies will also be asked to publish a policy outlining how they meet their obligations. «safely developing and deploying AI» and lay out how they believe AI can «address humanity's most pressing and important challenges,» according to notes sent to organizations participating in the summit.

The decision to invite China has proven controversial and is expected to be mentioned in a joint statement signed by participants, with drafts including a position that countries should «engage a wide range of partners as needed.»
Mr Sunak is said to be concerned about the growing capabilities of artificial intelligence models such as OpenAI's ChatGPT.

The two-day summit at the World War II code-breaking center of Bletchley is expected to Parke will not lead to the creation of a new AI regulator or new international laws.
However, the meeting could pave the way for future rules, and Mr Sunak hopes the UK will be at the forefront. Last week The Telegraph reported that British officials were considering offering a leading role to the government's £100 million AI task force in research into the technology.
A government spokesman said: “The AI Security Summit will bring together a wide range of circle of participants.» participants, including international governments, academia, industry and civil society, in a collaborative approach to take targeted, rapid international action on the safe and responsible development of AI.
“International representation will vary by country. . As is typical for summits of this nature, we do not confirm participants that far in advance, but we are confident that the right people will be there.”
