Who is attending Sunak's AI safety summit – and what will they discuss?

Global leaders, tech executives and experts – including Elon Musk – are gathering on Wednesday and Thursday at Bletchley Park, the home of second world war codebreakers, for a landmark summit on safety in artificial intelligence. In a speech last week Rishi Sunak said AI – the term for computer systems that can perform tasks typically associated with intelligent beings – brought opportunities but also significant risks, such as making it easier for rogue actors to make chemical or biological weapons. Here we answer your questions about the summit. The AI safety summit will look at frontier AI systems, which the government describes as "highly capable" models that can perform a wide variety of tasks matching or exceeding the performances of the most advanced AI available today. An example of frontier AI, according to a government document released last week, is the "large language model" technology that underpins AI tools such as the ChatGPT chatbot and its Google-made rival, Bard.
