London, President of the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) Dr. Abdullah bin Sharaf Al-Ghamdi is scheduled to participate in the AI Safety Summit, which the UK will organize in Bletchley Park, northwest of London, between November 1 and 2.
During his participation, Al-Ghamdi, on the first day of the summit through two-panel discussions, will address several pillars in which he demonstrates the importance of AI as an advanced modern technology that has made a significant impact on our contemporary lives at the level of individuals, institutions, and governments and the aspirations and plans of the world’s countries regarding AI systems and values.
The first session is titled: “Risks from Unpredictable Advances in Frontier AI Capability” and will discuss the risks from unpredictable ‘leaps’ in frontier AI capability as models are rapidly scaled, emerging forecasting methods, and implications for future AI development, including open-source. The second session, titled: “What Should the Scientific Community Do in Relation to the Risk and Opportunities of AI?” will include a multidisciplinary discussion of the current state of technical solutions for frontier AI safety, the most urgent research areas, and where promising solutions are emerging.
On the second day of the summit, the SDAIA president will review the effective role of data and AI in daily use and their roles in health fields and solutions to climate change challenges. The president will participate in two sessions during the second day, as well as participate in two discussion panels on exchanging global opportunities for AI.
On the summit’s sidelines, Al-Ghamdi is planned to meet with UK Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology Michelle Donelan and several CEOs of top companies specialized in AI technologies to discuss ways to enhance cooperation.
