“The Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, had a bilateral meeting this morning with the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, on the sidelines of the Artificial Intelligence Security Summit taking place in Bletchley Park, UK”, announced Palazzo Chigi.
“The two leaders discussed key bilateral and international issues.
“In particular, they shared a commitment on how to overcome the serious crisis in the Middle East and the urgency of an orderly management of the migration issue.”
Meloni added that Rome will host a major conference on artificial intelligence of its own when it holds the presidency of the G7 next year.
“We would like scholars, managers and experts from all over the world to take part in order to discuss methods, initiatives and guidelines to ensure that AI helps and does not replace those who work, instead of improving their conditions and prospects.
“With the development of artificial intelligence without rules, there is a risk that more and more people will not be needed on the labour market, with very serious consequences for the fair distribution of wealth.
“The applications of artificial intelligence can bring great opportunities in many fields but enormous risks too,” she continued.
“[The risks include] opaque decision-making mechanisms, discrimination, intrusions into our private lives and criminal acts, because LLMs (Large Language Models) could be used to produce weapons, low-tech biological damage, cyber-attacks and facilitate the personalisation of phishing.
“The development of artificial intelligence is the greatest intellectual, practical and anthropological challenge of this age.”
