UK Plans to Launch World’s First AI Safety Institute

The United Kingdom government has announced plans to set up the world’s first Artificial Intelligence (AI) Safety Institute, focusing on managing risks from rapidly advancing AI technologies.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the institute will research safe AI practices and advise governments globally. With countries like the US, Japan, and India rapidly developing AI sectors, experts believe the UK’s leadership could set international safety benchmarks.

South Asian countries such as Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan could also benefit from partnerships ensuring ethical and safe use of AI for social development.
