AI safety research is becoming critical as technology advances rapidly. Sir Demis Hassabis, head of Google DeepMind, stressed that understanding AI risks cannot wait and that immediate action is necessary.
At the AI Impact Summit in Delhi, many tech leaders and policymakers emphasized the need for international rules to manage AI safely. They are preparing a joint statement to strengthen global cooperation on AI governance.
The US, however, favors a lighter touch. White House technology adviser Michael Kratsios said strict rules and central control could slow AI adoption and prevent society from reaping its benefits.
The summit highlighted the challenge of keeping AI safe without stifling innovation. Experts argue that smart regulation, backed by solid research, can protect the public while still allowing technology to evolve.
Industry leaders are exploring ways to combine global collaboration with flexible, practical rules. The goal is to encourage AI growth while minimizing risks to society.
