The UK government has unveiled a funding programme of £8.5m for AI safety research, overseen by the UK's AI Safety Institute. The grants aim to address the potential risks associated with artificial intelligence, such as deepfakes and cyber attacks, while also exploring ways to leverage AI for societal benefits.
The grants will support researchers in developing strategies to safeguard society from the negative impacts of AI and to enhance productivity through AI advancements. The initiative, in collaboration with UK Research and Innovation and the Alan Turing Institute, seeks to foster international cooperation on AI safety science and broaden the understanding of systemic AI safety at a societal level.
