Harris, von der Leyen, Meloni and Musk will show the risks of AI at the center of British intelligence

A two-day high-level international conference on the safe use and risks of artificial intelligence (AI) began in England on November 1. The meeting takes place at Bletchley Park Castle, a former secret British military intelligence center that specialized in code-breaking.

During World War II, a group of British scientists worked here to crack the Enigma code, which the German military considered unbreakable. The code was also used to communicate with German submarines that hunted Allied convoys in North Atlantic waters and inflicted heavy casualties in the early stages of the war. Breaking the code, according to some historians, significantly shortened the duration of the war.

The group of “burglars” was led by Alan Turing, whom scientific descendants reverence as the founder of modern computer science and the concept of artificial intelligence.

US Vice President Kamala Harris, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and American billionaire Elon Musk are expected to attend the meeting.

According to the program, on the second day of the conference, Musk will have a direct conversation with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on his X portal, formerly Twitter.

The British government, which billed the event as the world's first global summit on artificial intelligence security, also invited China.

Rishi Sunak said in a statement before the conference that he knew China should have been excluded from the list of invitees, "but there cannot be a serious AI strategy without at least trying to involve all the world's leading AI powers."

The comprehensive expert report was also commissioned by the British government as a discussion paper for a conference on artificial intelligence security. The 45-page document lists the main risks associated with the fact that the use of artificial intelligence could facilitate the production of biological, chemical and radiation weapons and the implementation of cyber attacks.

Using artificial intelligence systems, threat users can also save time. Artificial intelligence, for example, has already helped create computer viruses that change from time, making them difficult to detect.

According to the expert report, the production of such viruses previously took quite a long time, but users of the forums of some hacker groups are already reporting that the use of ChatGPT and other similar tools has allowed them to quickly create malicious software malware in many different programming languages.

Artificial intelligence systems can also develop new attack methods. For example, they can create malware that behaves "benevolently" until the target victims are found, and only then it has a detrimental effect, making it difficult for antivirus software to detect the attack, the study reports.
