Artificial intelligence timeline

November 2, 2023 - At a UK summit, 28 governments, including China and the U.S., signed the “Bletchley Declaration,” agreeing to cooperate in evaluating the risks of artificial intelligence.

British prime minister Rishi Sunak has met with representatives from the United States, the EU and United Nations to discuss the steps needed to deliver safe AI, a day after he secured China’s backing for an international effort to manage the risks of the technology.

The Bletchley Declaration -- named after Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire, where the summit was held -- recognised that AI “presents enormous global opportunities” but said it should be developed in a way that is “human-centric, trustworthy and responsible.”

Some tech and political leaders have warned the rapid development of AI poses an existential threat if not controlled, sparking a race by governments and institutions to design safeguards and regulation.
