In November, members from the STAI CDT community of students, supervisors and directors shared their thoughts on the AI Safety Summit’s aims and outcomes.
The AI Safety Summit saw representatives from across the world including international governments, AI experts, tech companies and civil society leaders come together at Bletchley Park to discuss the risks posed by AI and how we can mitigate them.
STAI CDT has been training PhD students and pioneering research in this space since 2019. Below is a small selection of the thoughts shared, which focus on the themes of regulation, safety and trust and the need for input from an interdisciplinary range of stakeholders, particularly those that are underrepresented.
