US officials on Wednesday announced plans for a global AI safety summit in November, as authorities strive to keep pace with rapidly developing technology.
US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and Secretary of State Antony Blinken will co-host the first gathering of the International Network of AI Safety Institutes on November 20-21 in San Francisco.
"With AI evolving at a rapid pace, we... are pulling every lever," Raimondo said in a statement.
"That includes close, thoughtful coordination with our allies and like-minded partners," she said.
The network's initial members include Australia, Canada, the European Union, France, Japan, Kenya, South Korea, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
