History

Historical Context

In 2015, the Future of Life Institute hosted the Asilomar AI Principles conference, issuing 23 safety guidelines for artificial intelligence. Elon Musk, Stuart Russell, DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis and OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman signed, joined by over 100 researchers worldwide early. King Charles III’s appeal at the Dumfries House summit echoes that pledge, as Nvidia, Google DeepMind, Anthropic and the UK AI minister debate control. The parallel highlights that without binding standards, industry reluctance—shown by Anthropic’s refusal to test its model—could delay safe AI worldwide.
