Ed Davey to call for treaty limiting development of super-intelligent AI
The Liberal Democrat leader is expected to propose a nuclear-style non-proliferation approach to advanced AI.
UK Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey is expected to call for an international treaty designed to halt the development of super-intelligent artificial intelligence, according to the Guardian.
His proposed approach is described as similar to a nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Davey is due to make the case in a keynote speech at his party’s conference in Brighton.
The supplied excerpt says he will also criticize Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s approach to technology policy and reliance on US President Donald Trump and technology executives. The proposal remains a political policy position rather than an adopted international framework.
