Billionaire and omnipresent main character Elon Musk has declared he was once one of the best Quake players in the world, to the tune of winning money for his skills. This obviously sounds like the kind of thing your mate would say after their third pint, but the revelation came during an interview with podcaster Lex Fridman during which Musk was expansive on his wider gaming habits, and particularly his Diablo 4 druid's inability to beat Lilith.

On the first day of November, global-scale development on artificial intelligence was seen. At the UK AI Summit, global leaders from 28 different countries came together and committed to evaluating AI-related dangers together. In other news, billionaire Elon Musk, who is also at the AI Summit, reiterated his previous statement and called AI a risk. This and more in today's AI roundup. Let us take a closer look.
At the inaugural UK AI Summit, 28 countries, including the US, UK, and China, have united to champion a "human-centric, trustworthy, and responsible" approach to AI in an unprecedented global commitment, as per a report by the Financial Times. The initiative, known as the “Bletchley Declaration”, is part of a broader communication signed by influential nations such as Brazil, India, and Saudi Arabia during the inaugural AI Safety Summit. This two-day summit, spearheaded by British PM Rishi Sunak at Bletchley Park, aims to address the "potential for serious, even catastrophic, harm" posed by advanced AI models and advocates international cooperation as the best means of mitigating such risks. Signatories also include the EU, France, Germany, Japan, Kenya, and Nigeria. Despite this milestone, there are anticipated debates at the summit regarding the extent of AI regulation.
High-profile representatives from participating countries, such as Hadassa Getzstain, the Israeli chief of staff at the ministry of innovation, science, and technology, and Wu Zhaohui, the Chinese vice minister for technology, are attending the event.
Elon Musk, the owner of SpaceX and Tesla has consistently voiced concerns about the dangers of AI, having previously issued a grave warning of "catastrophic destruction of human civilization” as a potential consequence. When asked by Sky News during the Summit if he still considered AI a "threat to humanity," he responded, "It's a risk."
This development coincides with countries like the US and China endorsing a collaborative agreement with the UK, aimed at addressing the potentially "catastrophic" hazards posed by AI. In the Bletchley Declaration, which received support from the world's leading AI powers among 28 nations, the importance of international cooperation in harnessing the technology's potential while ensuring people's safety is underscored.
