A group of leading technology companies, including OpenAI, Amazon and Microsoft, have agreed to a set of commitments to ensure the safe development of their AI models. The agreement includes a “kill switch” to cut development if safety is not guaranteed.

Agreed at the Seoul AI Safety Summit, leading AI developers will publish safety frameworks on how they will measure the risks of their most advanced models.
Within these frameworks, the technology companies will create “red lines” which they will consider “intolerable”.
If these circumstances occur, such as if the AI model is at risk of being used in a cyberattack, the companies have confirmed they will apply a “kill switch” which will cut the development of the model.
“It’s a world first to have so many leading AI companies from so many different parts of the globe all agreeing to the same commitments on AI safety,” UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a statement Tuesday (21 May).
