China's absence from talks shows challenges in global cooperation." - Author: AI-360 - Tags: Analysis, Regulation, South Korea, google, Meta, microsoft, OpenAI The recent Global AI Summit in Seoul marked a stop in the ongoing quest to ensure the responsible development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The event saw the convergence of sixteen leading AI companies, alongside representatives from the G7, EU, Singapore, Australia, and South Korea. This gathering of minds showcased the growing recognition of the need for collaboration and consensus in shaping the future of AI. Sixteen companies, including Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI, reached an agreement to develop AI technologies safely, publish safety frameworks for measuring risks, avoid models with unmitigatable risks, and ensure governance and transparency. Voluntary commitments alone may not suffice. Regulation will need to accompany these efforts to ensure a comprehensive approach to AI safety. The shift in discussions from long-term doomsday scenarios to more practical concerns, such as the use of AI in medicine and finance, highlights the growing maturity of the conversation surrounding AI regulation. ## Sign up for AI-360 AI from all perspectives: Where business & innovation meets application & regulation.

As we move forward, it is imperative that the momentum generated by the Global AI Summit is maintained. The commitments made by the AI companies must be followed through with concrete actions, and governments must work to develop and implement effective regulatory frameworks. --- [To read more articles like this, and be notified of new content published each week, Sign Up to our FREE newsletter](#/portal/signup/free) ---
