The 'World Cringed' When UK's Sunak Met Elon Musk, MP Says

"What exactly did the PM think he might learn from an unelected, super-rich individual who had taken over a once successful organization and plunged it into a death spiral?" Labour's Daniel Zeichner says "world cringed" at Sunak's welcome for Elon Musk

Elon Musk renewed calls for regulations on artificial intelligence during an on-stage conversation with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as part of a two-day UK AI Safety Summit.

Regulation “will be annoying, it’s true,” Musk said in the remarks Thursday, “but I think we’ve learned over the years that having a referee is a good thing.”

The billionaire’s high-profile appearance alongside Sunak capped off a summit marked by tensions between those who are focused on supposed existential risks from AI and those who worry about near-term concerns, such as the technology’s potential to fuel discrimination and misinformation. Musk himself has repeatedly raised alarms about AI’s future impact on civilization.
