AI Safety Summit: Cracking the code of risk mitigation

The legacy of Bletchley Park lives on.

This week, Tristan and Tasia unpack the highlights and key outcomes from the UK's recent AI Safety Summit, where global leaders, tech giants, and AI researchers convened to forge the Bletchley Declaration. We dive into the debate over open-source AI, the commitments from major tech companies to preemptively test AI products, and the challenges of aligning international AI regulations, particularly around frontier AI. Join us as we discuss whether these collaborative efforts to secure a safe future with AI will actually be effective, given various competing geopolitical priorities and relentless technological advancements. Also: another Microsoft AI whoopsie-doopsie. 😬
