Billionaire Elon Musk welcomed China's engagement on artificial intelligence safety and said he wanted to see Beijing aligned with Britain and the United States on the subject, speaking in London on Thursday alongside British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Musk backed China's inclusion in the first AI Safety Summit, hosted at Bletchley Park, England, which has drawn leading companies and nations together to agree initial steps on how to manage the risks of cutting-edge AI models.
"If the United States and the UK and China are aligned on safety, then that's going to be a good thing, because that's where the leadership is generally," he said.
I took a decision to invite China to to
Summit over the last couple days and it
was not an easy decision a lot of people
criticize me for it you know my view as
if you're going to try it's essential
when I was when I was in China earlier
this year the my main subject of
discussion with this this the leadership
in China was AI safety and saying that
this this is really something that they
they should care about and um they took
it seriously and and I'm and um and you
are too which is which is great um and
having them here I think was essential
really if they're if they're if they're
not participants it's it's uh pointless
I'm saying this is something we should
be quite concerned about um because
Robert Robert can follow you anywhere
then you know what if they just one day
get a software update and they're not so
friendly anymore um then we've got a
James Cameron movie on our
head um it's it's actually that's it's
funny you're saying that because we in
our session that we had today I you know
just would say who they made exactly the
same point right d so we're talking
about they're talking about movies
actually without mentioning James
Cameron they're talking about James
Cameron movies
