Hub AI and society

Artificial Intelligence is a key technology that can help us solve major societal challenges such as climate change, energy supply, healthcare, education or logistics. AI can solve specific problems more effectively by supporting us in decision-making, automating solutions and thus scaling them, or discovering completely new solutions. But the use of AI also poses new risks, for example when it comes to surveillance or questions of social justice.

What is our society doing with AI – and what is AI doing to our society? We shed light on this question in our AI and Society Content Hub.

Plans include a global AI security summit and a £100m Foundation Model Taskforce. OpenAI and Anthropic recently established their European headquarters in the UK.

"AI is surely one of the greatest opportunities before us," Sunak said. But the technology needs to be developed and deployed safely, he said, "I know people are concerned."

It's an ex-ante assessment for governments, companies, and other organizations to design, develop, deploy, and procure AI systems ethically and in accordance with human rights and fundamental freedoms.

OpenAI could take several steps to mitigate some of the identified risks, such as fully disclosing the dataset used to train GPT-4 and ensuring that ChatGPT provides references to support any factual claims it makes in its responses.
