JAKARTA - Britain will host a global summit on the safety of artificial intelligence this year. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and US President Joe Biden will discuss the technology at their meeting on Thursday, June 8, the British government said.

The summit will discuss risks related to AI, including new systems, and discuss how these risks can be reduced through international coordination measures, the British government said in a statement. Unfortunately, there is no definite date for the event.

Biden and Sunak, who will meet for the fourth time in four months, will work together to coordinate their approach to critical and new technologies, with the aim of strengthening both economic security, British and US officials said.

The US technology company, Palaltir Technologies, which currently has more than 800 employees in the UK, will announce its plans to make Britain the headquarters for artificial intelligence development in Europe, the British government said.

Sunak plans to have extensive discussions with Biden on Britain-United States relations and how the two countries can work together to strengthen their economy and strengthen their "joint leadership in future technologies," the government said.

Some governments are considering ways to reduce the dangers associated with this new technology, which has seen increased investment and consumer popularity in recent months following the launch of ChatGPT from OpenAI.

It also includes China, where the government is looking for ways to initiate artificial intelligence regulations, according to billionaire Elon Musk, who met Chinese officials during his final visit to the country.

Regulators around the world are trying to draw up regulations governing the use of AI's genratives, which can create text and images, the impact is considered comparable to internet arrivals.

Sunak is traveling to the United States and will meet Biden at the White House on Thursday 8 June.

Meanwhile, OpenAI opposes regulations against small companies in the field of artificial intelligence. This was said by Sam Altman, CEO of OepnaI, at a conference in New Delhi, India.

"We expressly say that there should be no regulation against small companies. The only regulations we ask for are for ourselves and big companies," he said, while speaking at an event hosted by the Daily National Economic Times.

Altman is on a world tour, meeting with heads of state from several countries.

OpenAI has raised 10 billion dollars from Microsoft with a valuation of nearly 30 billion US dollars (Rp446.3 trillion) at this time, in line with its efforts to build computing capacity.
