Michelle ThompsonAccording to the co-founder of Facebook, Brexit means that the UK has the independence to be a world leader in artificial intelligence (AI).
According to Dustin Moskovitz, the CEO of the software startup Asana, it is “better that the UK is out of the EU” because of Brussels’ oppressive approach to regulation.
The internet entrepreneur said he was “far more concerned about regulatory friction” in the EU than in Britain before Rishi Sunak’s AI meeting at Bletchley Park.
According to comments made by Mr. Moskovitz, “The UK is talking about AI in more appropriate ways,” according to The Times.
Facebook co-founder Mr. Moskovitz claimed that Britain was “taking a much more forward approach on developing the technology and acting more like leaders who want to find the way forward”.
London is a powerful gravitational force, he continued. I’m delighted the UK can stray from the path. Up till the EU sorts it out, there is a place for the UK to split apart and have much better access to this technology.
Mr. Moskovitz expressed his concern that the EU “could ban large-language models completely” in his remarks prior to the next meeting in November that will bring together world leaders and tech executives.
They are incompatible with GDPR and the right to be forgotten, so you may either disregard them or find a replacement statute, he continued.
The General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, is a set of laws governing the protection of personal data in the EU. After Brexit, they no longer apply to the UK, although they have been formally codified as “UK GDPR.”
Experts have cautioned that AI programs that analyze enormous volumes of personal data may violate data privacy laws.
Despite rumors that German chancellor Olaf Scholz may skip the conference, No. 10 has stated that it is “confident” that important participants will show up for its AI summit.
Which international leaders will be there at the meeting at Bletchley Park in November, which will be used to debate how to ensure AI can be deployed securely throughout the world, is not yet known.
Government officials “remain confident we will have the right group of people” at the two-day event next month, according to Mr. Sunak’s spokeswoman on Monday.
According to a representative for the Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology, “We cannot reap the benefits of AI in areas like healthcare, climate change, and beyond, without working towards a shared, global understanding of the risks we face.”
