Multi-nation agreement seeks cooperation on development of 'frontier' AI tech

The U.S. and other countries signed an agreement to collaborate and communicate on "frontier" artificial intelligence (AI) that will aim to limit the risks presented by the technology in the coming years. 

"We encourage all relevant actors to provide context-appropriate transparency and accountability on their plans to measure, monitor and mitigate potentially harmful capabilities and the associated effects that may emerge, in particular to prevent misuse and issues of control, and the amplification of other risks," the Bletchley Declaration, signed by 28 countries, including the U.S., China and members of the European Union. 

The international community has wrangled with the problem of AI, trying to balance the obvious and emerging risks associated with such advanced technology against what Britain’s King Charles III called the "untold benefits." 

The Bletchley Declaration therefore lays out two key points: "identifying AI safety risks" and "building respective risk-based policies across our countries to ensure safety in light of such risks."

EXPERT SAYS BIDEN ADMIN'S AI SAFETY INSTITUTE NOT ‘SUFFICIENT’ TO HANDLE PITFALLS

The U.S. and the United Kingdom have already announced the establishment of institutes dedicated to these very tasks. 

The British institute, announced Friday, will serve as a potential global hub for "international collaboration on… safe development." The institute will also seek to work with leading AI companies, including those in the U.S. and Singapore, to help avoid potential risks. 

The institute will "carefully test new types of frontier AI before and after they are released to address the potentially harmful capabilities of AI models, including exploring all the risks, from social harms like bias and misinformation, to the most unlikely but extreme risk, such as humanity losing control of AI completely."

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also committed just shy of $500 million toward the AI sector to bolster the country’s development efforts – a significant increase over its initial $125 million investment pledge for new computer chips. The investment aims to inspire innovation and keep the U.K. at the front of the sector, according to The Telegraph.

The United Kingdom has sought a leading role in the development and regulation of AI technology, and it made that clear by holding the first international AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park, where Alan Turing developed the first computing machine to aid in code-breaking during World War II.

Turing considered artificial intelligence shortly after he invented the code-breaking machine, publishing "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" in 1950. He discussed arguments of consciousness in machines and refuted arguments against the ability to develop such intelligence. 

"It is fantastic to see such support from global partners and the AI companies themselves to work together so we can ensure AI develops safely for the benefit of all our people," Sunak said in a press release about the AI Safety Institute’s establishment. "This is the right approach for the long-term interests of the U.K."

EXPERTS DETAIL HOW AMERICA CAN WIN THE RACE AGAINST CHINA FOR MILITARY TECH SUPREMACY

Researchers from the Alan Turing Institute and Imperial College London "have also welcomed" the institute’s launch, according to the prime minister’s office. 

After the public release of ChatGPT from Microsoft-owned OpenAI, the public’s imagination ran wild with both the positive and negative potential of the technology, with some professing concerns over a possible "Terminator" future.

Tesla founder and X CEO Elon Musk earlier this year said he found a "strong probability" that AI "goes wrong and destroys humanity" – a "small" chance that is "not zero," even though he did not explain how that would happen.

The Bletchley Declaration will seek to ensure that doesn’t happen, though, stating a strong resolve to "sustain an inclusive global dialogue that engages existing international fora and other relevant initiatives and contributes in an open manner to broader international discussions, and to continue research on frontier AI safety to ensure that the benefits of the technology can be harnessed responsibly for good and for all."

Joe Burrow, Bengals roll through Bills to win fourth straight game

The Cincinnati Bengals continue to roll, taking down their AFC rival Buffalo Bills, 24-18, on Sunday night at Paycor Stadium. 

The last time these two teams met was a tragic Monday night in January when Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest. As you’d expect, it was an emotional return for No. 3, who was inactive in this game.

When the ball was kicked off and reflection turned into focus for everyone on the field, the Bengals quickly got to work. Joe Burrow was ice cold on the team’s first drive of the game, going 6-for-6 through the air and eventually finding Irv Smith Jr. for a seven-yard touchdown.

This game quickly became a shootout when the Bills took over on their first drive. Josh Allen found the end zone with his feet instead of his arm after driving 85 yards to match the Bengals. 

But Burrow was quick to find the end zone again, this time using Joe Mixon, his trusty running back, on third-and-goal to retake the lead.

That’s when both offenses began to stall a bit. Four total punts with an Allen interception mixed in led to no points for either team until Burrow had prime field position at Buffalo’s 45-yard line after the Bills were forced to punt from deep inside their zone. 

BILLS' DAMAR HAMLIN DISCUSSES FIRST RETURN TO CINCINNATI SINCE CARDIAC ARREST: ‘I’M WALKING IN WITH COURAGE'

What looked to be a broken play on third-and-7 from Buffalo’s 22-yard line led to a Drew Sample 22-yard catch-and-run to put the home team up 14-7 before the end of the half. 

The second half wasn’t as eventful for either squad, as defense kicked on both ways. The Bengals got a key stop in their own zone to force a field goal to begin the third quarter, making it a 21-10 game. 

Then, after turning the ball over on downs, the Bengals’ defense picked up the offense by forcing a fumble on Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid. He went airborne on first-and-10 from the Cincinnati 22-yard line, and before landing, the ball was knocked out of his arms and recovered by the Bengals. That eventually led to an Evan McPherson field goal to push the lead to 24-10. 

But, as Buffalo has done before, they’re never going to give up when Allen has the ball and there’s time on the clock. 

The Bills used up 4:36 of clock in the fourth quarter to eventually find star receiver Stefon Diggs in the end zone on a 17-yard strike from Allen. 

However, the Bills defense couldn’t get the ball back in his hands. Burrow and his crew killed the final 2:54 left in the fourth quarter, picking up key first downs to seal the victory and four straight wins in a row to move to 5-3. The Bills own the same record now as well. 

Burrow had a fantastic game through the air, collecting 348 yards and two touchdowns on 31 of 44. His top receiver wasn’t Ja’Marr Chase, who had four catches for 41 yards, but rather Tee Higgins. He hauled in eight of his nine targets for 110 yards. 

For the Bills, Diggs led the way with 86 yards on six catches, and Kincaid finished with 10 catches for 81 yards. 

The Bengals will look to push that win streak to five straight games next Sunday when they host the Houston Texans. Meanwhile, the Bills will be in primetime yet again next week at home against the Denver Broncos.
