At the UK's AI Safety Summit, the UK releases the Bletchley Declaration, signed by 29 countries, and the US Commerce Secretary announces an AI Safety Institute
The world is locked in a race, and competition, over dominance in AI, but today, a few of them appeared to come together …

Hmmm... Why might China want (supposedly more advanced) Western AI systems to be slowed down by strict regulation? Existential risk from advanced AI could be a real thing eventually, but discrimination, and impacts on jobs are the more pressing issues. [embedded post]

There is a growing chorus of voices here at the AI Summit calling for a focus on the more immediate, close-to-home threats posed by AI. It's more likely to replace you in your job or discriminate against you in an insurance quote than it is to try to kill you (at the moment!)
