The UK is to host a conference in San Francisco, for talks between AI developers on how they can put into practice commitments made at the AI Seoul Summit.

The event will be held across 21 and 22 November and will include workshops and discussions focused on AI.

The conference precedes France hosting the AI Action Summit in February 2025.

Earlier this year, 16 companies from around the world, agreed to publish their latest AI safety frameworks ahead of the next Summit.

The AI safety frameworks will set out the companies' plans to tackle the most severe potential AI risks, including if the technology was misused by bad actors. The companies also agreed to stop the deployment or development of any models if their potential risks cannot be sufficiently addressed.

The San Francisco event will enable AI companies to take stock and share ideas and insights to support the development of their AI safety frameworks through a targeted day of talks between signatory companies and researchers.

Science, innovation and technology secretary Peter Kyle said: "The conference is a clear sign of the UK’s ambition to further the shared global mission to design practical and effective approaches to AI safety.

"We’re just months away from the AI Action Summit, and the discussions in San Francisco will give companies a clear focus on where and how they can bolster their AI safety plans building on the commitments they made in Seoul."
