Ukraine, USA, and EU Sign Bletchley Declaration on Artificial Intelligence Security

Ukraine, along with other nations, has joined the Bletchley Declaration on the security of artificial intelligence. This historic event took place at the world's largest AI Safety Summit, held in the United Kingdom and attended by representatives from 29 governments, including the United States, Australia, and the EU. This announcement comes from the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.

In addition to Ukraine, 28 other countries, including the United States, China, European Union member states, Saudi Arabia, and South Korea, have signed this international agreement that regulates the safe use of artificial intelligence technologies.

The Bletchley Declaration serves as a comprehensive document outlining a program to identify risks associated with the advancement of artificial intelligence technologies. It aims to foster a scientific understanding of these risks and develop international policies to mitigate them. The document emphasizes collaborative government research in AI security, with one of its primary objectives being the coordinated development and implementation of risk-focused AI regulation policies to prevent adverse consequences.

"We must follow global trends in innovation. When it comes to cybersecurity, AI can both enhance system security and streamline cyberattacks, making them more successful. It's essential to strike a balance in regulating this technology while allowing it to progress," noted Georgiy Dubinsky, Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.

The summit highlighted that artificial intelligence is a valuable technology for economic growth and sustainable development. However, it cannot advance without oversight and requires established "rules of the game."

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, among the summit's attendees, described the signing of the declaration as a "landmark achievement" that instills hope for the long-term future of younger generations.

It's worth noting that the President of the United States, Joe Biden, issued the first-ever directive on dealing with artificial intelligence in the country's history. The directive calls for new security assessments, adherence to principles of equality and civil rights, and research into the impact of AI on the labor market.
