US to convene global AI safety summit in November

WASHINGTON, Sept 18 (Reuters) – The Biden administration plans to convene a global safety summit on artificial intelligence, it said on Wednesday, as Congress continues to struggle with regulating the technology.

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will host on Nov. 20-21 the first meeting of the International Network of AI Safety Institutes in San Francisco to “advance global cooperation toward the safe, secure, and trustworthy development of artificial intelligence.”
