One of Neil Diamond’s famous songs is “They’re Coming To America” that explains an immigrant’s journey to the US to pursue to the America. The chorus is the most memorable part of the song, because it repeats the word “today” until the conclusion. In response to the growing concerns about AI’s impact society, The Daily Journal reports that, “UK’s AI Safety Institute Expands To The US, Set To Open US Counterpart In San Francisco.” AI safety is coming to America today or summer 2024.

The Daily Journal’s Bending feature details the following:

“The UK announced it will open a US counterpart to its AI Safety Summit institute in San Francisco this summer to test advanced AI systems and ensure their safety. The expansion aims to recruit a research director and technical staff headed in San Francisco and increase cooperation with the US on AI safety issues. The original UK AI Safety Institute currently has a team of 30 people and is chaired by tech entrepreneur Ian Hogarth. Since being founded last year, the Institute has tested several AI models on challenges but they still struggle with more advanced tests and producing harmful outputs.”

The UK and US will shape the global future of the AI. Because of their prevalence in western, capitalist societies, the these countries are home to huge tech companies. These tech companies are profit driven and often forgo safety and security for it. They forget the importance of the consumer and the common good. Thankfully there are organizations that fight for consumers’ rights and ensuring there will accountability. On the other hand, these organizations can be just as damaging. Is this a lesser of two evils or the evil that you know situation? Oh well, the UK Safety Summit Institute is coming to America!
