UK Partners with 'Middle Powers' to Develop International AI Security Standards
Britain's Collaborative Approach to AI Security
LONDON, April 28 (Reuters) - Britain will work with other "middle powers" such as France, Germany and Canada on AI security to help shape the future of a technology dominated by the United States and China, Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said.
International Interest in UK's AI Security Institute
Britain's AI Security Institute (AISI) generated interest from other countries when it evaluated Anthropic's Claude Mythos model earlier this month, showing that it could exploit security weaknesses, she said on Tuesday.
Global Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing
• Kendall told reporters: "Many other countries are extremely interested in working with us to learn some of the lessons from what AISI is doing."
Upcoming Best Practice Publication
• Britain will publish best practice on evaluating AI models in July at the next meeting of AI Security Institutes.
Partnerships with Leading AI Companies
• AISI, which sits under Kendall's department, has agreements with OpenAI, Anthropic and others to evaluate their models.
Maintaining Strong US-UK AI Relations
• Kendell said work with Britain's peers should not be seen as weakening its "deep, close and enduring relationship" with the United States, which is home to the five hyperscalers that control about 70% of global AI compute power.
