UK will put AI at top of its 2027 G20 presidency agenda

The British prime minister joined an artificial intelligence call chaired by Emmanuel Macron, backed harnessing the technology for good, warned on its risks…

--- The context --- Artificial intelligence calls for agreements that cross borders, because its benefits and its risks do not stop in a single country. That was the setting for a call held today devoted to this technology. --- The facts --- The British prime minister joined a call on artificial intelligence today chaired by President Emmanuel Macron. He began by thanking President Macron for his work to advance international cooperation on artificial intelligence. The prime minister highlighted the importance of harnessing artificial intelligence for good, including its potential to transform cancer and dementia treatment. He also stressed the need to remain clear eyed about the risks posed by this technology. --- The positions --- As set out on the call, international cooperation is central to facing those risks, and the United Kingdom can offer expertise through the AI Security Institute, cited as part of that British contribution. --- What remains unknown --- Looking ahead to the United Kingdom's G20 presidency in 2027, artificial intelligence will be at the top of the agenda. The country will look to advance international standards and keep using the technology to tackle major global challenges. --- Unanswered questions --- How will those international standards become concrete rules in practice? What exact role will the AI Security Institute play in cooperation? How will progress on cancer and dementia be measured? --- EPM analysis --- The call joins two inseparable aims: using artificial intelligence to improve treatments while cooperating to watch its risks, with shared standards between countries as the bridge between ambition and safety. 📌 EPM Take: In EPM's view, placing artificial intelligence at the top of the 2027 G20 presidency agenda will matter only if cooperation turns into clear and verifiable standards. The potential cited to transform cancer and dementia treatment justifies the ambition, but it also requires keeping the risks in sight and giving the AI Security Institute a practical shared role beyond a mention.
