주요국 첫 AI 안전 공동선언 韓․英, 6개월 뒤 열리는 ‘미니 정상회의’ 공동 개최

28 governments including South Korea, the U.S. the UK and China have jointly declared they will pursue safe and human-centric use of Artificial Intelligence.
It was the first document of its kind signed at a summit hosted by the UK.
President Yoon Suk Yeol is set to attend the forum virtually, and also co-host a follow-up summit next year.

Leading IT nations have signed the world's first global declaration on ensuring artificial intelligence is developed safely and responsibly, recognizing that the technology could pose "catastrophic" risks to humanity.
At a summit on AI safety held in southeast England on Wednesday,. twenty eight governments including South Korea, the UK, the United States and China penned the so-called Bletchley Declaration, calling for AI to be designed, developed and used in ways that are human-centric, trustworthy and responsible.
The two-day summit brings together governments, politicians, scientists and tech executives to address growing concerns over the unknown and potentially destabilizing impact of AI across societies.

"We can't expect these companies to mark their own homework. That has to be the responsibility of governments. That is why I've created the AI Safety Institute here in the UK, which I hope can be a globally leading institute of research for safety of these models."

Without oversight and management, governments fear the fast-evolving technology poses "substantial risks" to individual privacy, safety and national security.
In particular, the declaration underscores the danger of AI systems stirring further cyber-attacks, disinformation campaigns, and even the development of biological weapons.
The governments agreed to work together to identify shared concerns and build scientific understanding of the risks, in discussions going forward.
They also endorsed "a pro-innovation and proportionate governance" that maximises the benefits while considering the risks associated with AI.
President Yoon Suk Yeol will attend Day 2 of the discussions to share ways to cooperate globally to establish an international organization, and new digital norms to promote the use of AI for human development.
Before joining the summit, Yoon spoke to a local broadcaster on Thursday, reiterating his views on AI governance.

Over the past year, Yoon has stressed the need to create a new digital order and establish appropriate governance over technology, in his keynote speeches at New York University, Sorbonne University, and the UN General Assembly.
His office says South Korea and the UK have agreed to co-host a ‘mini virtual summit' in six months' time, ahead of the second AI Safety Summit this time next year.
