The Seoul Ministerial Statement鈥痵ees countries agreeing for the first time to develop shared risk鈥痶hresholds for frontier AI development and deployment, including agreeing鈥痺hen model capabilities could pose 鈥榮evere risks鈥欌�痺ithout鈥痑ppropriate mitigations. This could include helping malicious actors to acquire or use chemical or biological weapons, and AI鈥檚 ability to evade human oversight,鈥痜or example by manipulation and deception or autonomous replication and adaptation.聽

Countries have now set the ambition of developing proposals alongside AI companies, civil society, and academia for discussion ahead of the AI Action Summit which is due to be hosted by France. The move marks鈥痑n important first step as part of a wider push to develop global standards to address specific AI 谤颈蝉办蝉.听听

This follows a wide-ranging agreement to the 鈥淔rontier AI Safety Commitments鈥�, which were signed by 16 AI technology companies yesterday from across the globe including鈥痶he US, China, Middle East鈥痑nd Europe 鈥� a world first. 鈥疷nless they have already done so, leading AI developers will also now publish safety frameworks on how they will measure the risks of their frontier AI models, ahead of the AI Action Summit.鈥�聽聽

Concluding the AI Seoul Summit, countries discussed the importance of supporting AI innovation and inclusivity. They recognised the transformative benefits of AI for the public sector, and committed to supporting an environment which nurtures easy access to AI-related resources for SMEs, start-ups鈥痑nd academia. They also welcomed the potential for AI to provide significant advances in resolving the world鈥檚 greatest challenges, such as climate change, global health, food鈥痑nd energy security.

UK Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan鈥痵aid:鈥�聽聽

It has been a productive two days of discussions which the UK and the Republic of Korea have built upon the 鈥楤letchley Effect鈥� following our inaugural AI Safety Summit which I spearheaded six months ago.鈥�聽聽

The agreements we have reached in Seoul mark the beginning of Phase Two of our AI Safety agenda, in which the world takes concrete steps to become more resilient to the risks of AI and begins a deepening of our understanding of the science that will underpin a shared approach to AI safety in the future.鈥�聽聽

For companies, it is about establishing thresholds of risk beyond which they won鈥檛 release their models. For countries, we will collaborate to set thresholds where risks become severe. The UK will continue to play the leading role on the global stage to advance these conversations.

Minister Lee Jong-Ho of the Ministry of Science and ICT of the Republic of Korea said:聽聽聽

Through this AI Seoul Summit, 27 nations and the EU have established the goals of AI governance as safety, innovation and inclusion. In particular governments, companies, academia, civil society from various countries have together advanced to strengthen global AI safety capabilities and explore an approach on sustainable AI 诲别惫别濒辞辫尘别苍迟.听听听

We will strengthen global cooperation among AI safety institutes worldwide and share successful cases of low-power AI chips to help mitigate the global negative impacts on energy and the environment caused by the spread of AI.听听

We will carry forward the achievements made in RoK. and UK to the next summit in France, and look forward to minimizing the potential risks and side effects of AI while creating more opportunities and benefits.

Nations have also pledged to boost international cooperation on the science of AI safety. Following on from its interim publication in the run up to the AI Seoul Summit, the International Scientific Report on the Safety of Advanced AI will continue to underpin this shared approach to AI safety science. States have resolved to support future reports on AI risk and looked forward to the next iteration of the Report, due to be published in time for the AI Action Summit. The Report is designed to facilitate a shared science-based understanding of the risks associated with frontier AI among global policymakers, and to sustain that understanding as capabilities continue to increase, helping support safe AI 颈苍苍辞惫补迟颈辞苍.听

The discussions at the AI Seoul Summit and November鈥檚 talks at Bletchley Park continue to drive forward the global focus on AI safety, innovation, and inclusivity. Governments, academia, and the wider AI community will now prepare for the AI Action Summit in France, to once again address how the benefits of this generation-defining technology can be realised across the globe.

Signatories of today鈥檚 Seoul Ministerial Statement are:

Australia, Canada, Chile, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Netherlands, Nigeria, New Zealand, The Philippines, Republic of Korea, Rwanda, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, T眉rkiye, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States of America, and the European Union.聽

Countries have agreed that 鈥渟evere risks could be posed鈥� by the potential frontier AI capability to meaningfully assist 鈥渘on-state actors in advancing the development, production, acquisition or use of chemical or biological weapons鈥�, noting the importance of acting consistently with relevant international law such as the Chemical Weapons Convention and Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention.

Countries have also recognised that severe risks could be posed by the potential frontier AI capability 鈥渢o evade human oversight鈥� including through 鈥渕anipulation and deception or autonomous replication and adaptation鈥� and鈥痗ommitted to working with companies to implement appropriate safeguards.

China participated in-person at the AI Seoul Summit, with representatives from government, civil society, academia and top companies in attendance, building on the approach that started at Bletchley. China engaged in today鈥檚 discussions on AI safety which covered areas of collaboration ahead of the France AI Action Summit, and we look forward to continued engagement with China on this work.
