LONDON, June 11 (Reuters) - Britain must act quickly to remain a tech capital, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will tell tech leaders on Monday, urging them to grasp the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence.
Sunak, speaking at the start of London Tech Week, will say the "tectonic plates of technology are shifting".
And I feel a sense of urgency and responsibility to make sure we seize it."
During a visit to Washington last week, Sunak said Britain would host a global summit on artificial intelligence safety later this year to consider the risks of AI and discuss how they can be mitigated through internationally coordinated action.
"I want to make the UK not just the intellectual home, but the geographical home of global AI safety regulation."
