Rishi Sunak has said it remains unclear whether China will attend UK’s AI safety summit next week, despite Beijing accepting an invitation to the Bletchley Park gathering.

The Prime Minister, who used a speech on Thursday to give an “honest” warning about the dangers and possibilities of the emerging technology, said he could not say with “100% certainty” if Chinese officials would be at the summit next week.

It comes after Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden confirmed that the Asian country, which is among the powerful states trying to tap into the potential of AI, had accepted a British invitation to the summit.
