WASHINGTON: British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak pushed on Wednesday for a leading UK role in regulating the fast-growing field of artificial intelligence, on a visit to Washington where he is also highlighting unstinting support on Ukraine.
"The UK is well placed to play a leadership role. Outside of the US, we are probably the leading AI nation amongst democratic countries. We have an ability to get regulation right to protect our citizens," he told TalkTV. "I saw that this was coming and I want to make sure that we are well placed as a country to both benefit from it, but also to be protected against its harms," he told TalkTV.
"In memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in order that we might live free. We will remember them," said a hand-written message from Sunak on the wreath. The visit comes as Russia and Ukraine trade accusations over who blew up the large Kakhovka dam, triggering devastating floods. Sunak has also been talking up British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace as a candidate to lead NATO before the Western military alliance holds a summit next month in Lithuania, with the prime ministers of Denmark and Estonia also seen as contenders.Sunak will also meet US business leaders but he has given up on securing a post-Brexit trade deal anytime soon with the Biden administration, which has shown limited enthusiasm.
