Rishi Sunak can cement Britain\u2019s status as a world leader in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) with the nation no longer subject to EU rules and regulations, the CEO of a software developer at the cutting edge has said.<\/p>\n

Dominik Samociuk, Head of Security at Future Processing, was speaking in a week in which the Prime Minister made a keynote speech about the subject, and days before the start of an AI summit at Bletchley Park on August.<\/p>\n

Recent estimates suggest roughly 35 per cent of businesses globally use AI – a figure which is likely to continue rising due to its potential to improve every aspect of modern life.<\/p>\n

It was therefore vital governments agree on policies that help allay concerns around security, transparency and regulation, Mr Samociuk said.<\/p>\n

He told Express.co.uk: \u201cThe UK has long been considered a world leader in AI.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is currently home to a third of Europe\u2019s AI companies and brings in billions in investment year on year.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cNow, having been untethered from the EU\u2019s rigid regulations, the country is able to take its efforts to a whole new level.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the EU explores how AI fits within its data privacy rules, the UK can take a far more progressive approach \u2013 paving the way for others to follow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Sunak used yesterday\u2019s speech to declare that establishing safety principles around the technology should be a global priority on a par with pandemics and preventing nuclear war.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He also announced that the UK would set up a “world first” AI Safety Institute to examine and evaluate emerging AI models.<\/p>\n

Leading AI companies, including ChatGPT maker OpenAI and Google DeepMind have published their safety policies following a request from Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan.<\/p>\n

The group also includes AI firm Anthropic, along with tech giants Amazon, Meta and Microsoft, who have each published their policies on nine areas of safety around AI development proposed by the Government.<\/p>\n

Ms Donelan said: “This is the start of the conversation and as the technology develops, these processes and practices will continue to evolve, because in order to seize AI’s huge opportunities we need to grip the risks.<\/p>\n
