Politicians and business leaders will discuss the threat of humans losing control of artificial intelligence, potential election disruption and national-security concerns posed by the technology at a UK-hosted global summit next month.
The meeting at Bletchley Park, home to British code breakers including Alan Turing during World War II, starts Nov. 1 with discussions on what AI means for online safety and global inequality, according to a person familiar with the plans. The technology’s opportunities, including for transforming education, are also on the agenda.
