The UK has signed a landmark agreement with the US on artificial intelligence, the Financial Times reports. The agreement – signed on Monday in Washington by UK science minister Michelle Donelan and US commerce secretary Gina Raimond – will see the allies formally cooperate on how to test and assess risks from emerging AI models. It details how the two governments will share technical knowledge, information and talent on AI safety. Both nations launched their own AI Safety Institutes within one day of each other around the inaugural AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park in November 2023. The two bodies intend to develop a common approach to AI safety testing that involves using the same methods and underlying infrastructure. While the UK and the US are yet to introduce a broad set of concrete laws for governing AI, the European Union has adopted some of the toughest rules in the world with the recently introduced EU AI Act.
