He concluded: “The late Stephen Hawking once said ‘AI is likely to be the best or worst thing to happen to humanity.’
“If we can sustain the collaboration that we have fostered over these last two days, I profoundly believe that we can make it the best. Because safely harnessing this technology could eclipse anything we have ever known.
“And if in time history proves that today we began to seize that prize, then we will have written a new chapter worthy of its place in the story of Bletchley Park, and more importantly bequeath an extraordinary legacy of hope for our children and generations to come.”
James Cleverly said it would have been an “error” not to invite China to the AI safety summit at Bletchley Park.
Asked why China was invited, the Foreign Secretary told broadcasters: “With something as global as this it would be an error to miss one of the countries with the most significant repository of AI work.
“And so it is right that they were invited. It is right that we work with them about the safeguards, about the handrails, about the rules and norms of behaviour.
“And whether it is them or any other country we are able to hold people to account for the commitments that they have made and whether it is our relationship with China or any other country it is quite powerful to say ‘you have signed up to commitments, we expect you to abide by the commitments you have signed up to’.
“That is why having such a diversity of nations here I think is a real positive.”
