The text of the memorandum of understanding says the UK and OpenAI will “improve understanding of capabilities and security risks, and to mitigate those risks”.<\/p>\n
It also says that the UK and OpenAI may develop an “information sharing programme”, adding that they will “develop safeguards that protect the public and uphold democratic values”.<\/p>\n
OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman said the plan would “deliver prosperity for all”.<\/p>\n
“AI is a core technology for nation building that will transform economies and deliver growth,” he added.<\/p>\n
The deal comes as the UK government looks for ways to improve the UK’s stagnant economy, which is forecast to have grown at 0.1% to 0.2% for the April to June period<\/a>.<\/p>\n The UK government has also made clear it is open to US AI investment, having struck similar deals with OpenAI’s rivals Google and Anthropic earlier this year.<\/p>\n It said its OpenAI deal “could mean that world-changing AI tech is developed in the UK, driving discoveries that will deliver growth”.<\/p>\n Generative AI software like OpenAI’s ChatGPT can produce text, images, videos, and music from prompts by users.<\/p>\n The technology does this based on data from books, photos, film footage, and songs, raising questions about potential copyright infringement or whether data has been used with permission<\/a>.<\/p>\n The technology has also come under fire for giving false information<\/a> or bad advice<\/a> based on prompts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The text of the memorandum of understanding says the UK and OpenAI will “improve understanding of capabilities and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14901,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-14900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14900","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14900"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14900\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
