South Korea and the United Kingdom are set to co-host the second global AI 
summit in Seoul, six months after the first event took place in Bletchley 
Park late last year. 

The upcoming event, scheduled for May 21-22, comes as a response to the rapid 
advancement of artificial intelligence in such a short space of time, which 
has left governments grappling with new and emerging risks and safety 
considerations. 

Seouls summit is expected to focus on AI safety, innovation and inclusion, 
and will have South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and UK Prime Minister 
Rishi Sunak at the helm. Seoul AI Summit 

The two leaders will oversee a virtual summit on the first day amid growing 
calls for better regulation of artificial intelligence. An undisclosed group 
of global leaders have also been invited to the event in order for them to 
discuss progress and share thoughts, harnessing a more collaborative and 
safer AI landscape. 

The latest International Scientific Report on the Safety of Advanced AI 
interim report , published ahead of the event in Seoul this week, highlighted 
some of the potential risks associated with AI, including large-scale labor 
market disruptions, AI-enabled hacking, biological attacks and the potential 
loss of control. 

Despite the technologys ability to enhance wellbeing, prosperity, and 
scientific discoveries, the report highlighted a lack of understanding of the 
capabilities and inner workings of general-purpose AI systems, together with 
uncertainty about AIs future pace and direction. 

The final report, a culmination of research from over 30 countries, is set to 
be published before Frances AI Action Summit later this year. 

Seouls virtual meeting will be followed by in-person meetings, with the likes 
of UK Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan and South Korean Minister of 
Science and ICT Lee Jong-Ho in attendance, as well as execs from companies 
such as OpenAI, Google DeepMind and Microsoft. More from TechRadar Pro Ready
