US, UK Eye Shared Approach to AI Safety Testing; Gina Raimondo Quoted

1 min read

The U.S. and the U.K. governments will collaborate to advance the development of tests for artificial intelligence models and establish a common approach to AI safety testing under a memorandum of understanding.

Under the MOU, the U.S. and U.K. AI Safety Institutes plan to conduct at least one joint testing exercise on a public model and explore expert personnel exchanges as part of efforts to develop shared capabilities, the U.S. Department of Commerce said Monday.

The two countries will also share information on capabilities and risks related to AI systems and models and technical research on AI security and safety.

“Because of our collaboration, our Institutes will gain a better understanding of AI systems, conduct more robust evaluations, and issue more rigorous guidance,” said U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.

“By working together, we are furthering the long-lasting special relationship between the U.S. and UK and laying the groundwork to ensure that we’re keeping AI safe both now and in the future,” she added.

Raimondo signed the MOU with Michelle Donelan, the British government’s technology secretary.
