Demis Hassabis, CEO & Co-Founder, Google DeepMind said: “AI brings incredible opportunities but also challenges for the world, and international cooperation is essential for ensuring this technology is developed safely and responsibly for the benefit of everyone. London is a magnet for the best software engineering talent in the world, and it is the natural choice as the hub for our European efforts to develop the most effective and ethical artificial intelligence software solutions available.” The Prime Minister will meet President Biden in the White House for wide ranging discussions on the UK-US relationship, in particular how they can work together to strengthen the economies and cement their joint leadership in the technologies of the future. Hugh Milward, Vice-President, External Affairs Microsoft UK said: “The opportunity AI presents us could fundamentally help solve some of society’s greatest problems. But it’s going to require the kind of multi-lateral agreement the Prime Minister is proposing to help create confidence and address the challenges AI also presents.” Dr Marc Warner, CEO of Faculty, said: “The potential for this technology is breathtaking but we need to make sure that it’s rolled out in a human first and safe way.
