AI Seoul Summit 2024: Program Schedule, Theme and Host Participants

The UK government is all set to co-host the AI Seoul Summit with the Republic of Korea. It builds on the legacy of the first AI Safety Summit, which was hosted by the UK at Bletchley Park in November 2023, bringing together international governments, AI companies, academia, and civil society to advance global discussions on AI.

Korea, which ranks 6th in the world in the global AI index and 3rd in AI patent applications, and has succeeded in developing its own AI model, which is rare among non-English speaking countries, is also working diligently to lead the formation of new AI international governance.

The summit promotes innovation while ensuring AI safety and, at the same time, supports and cooperates with countries in the Digital South that are excluded from digital benefits such as AI.

The Seoul summit is being billed as a kind of mini virtual summit, acting as a stopgap until a more formal in-person meeting that France has promised to host. It will include the outcomes of discussions on safety, innovation, and inclusivity, according to Park Sang-wook, senior presidential adviser for science and technology for President Yoon.

The leaders of the Group of Seven wealthy democracies the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Britain were invited to the virtual summit, along with leaders of Australia and Singapore and representatives from the U.N., the EU, according to South Korea’s presidential office. However, the list does not include China and will send a representative to Wednesday’s in-person meeting, the South Korean presidential office said. 

The two-day meeting, co-hosted by the South Korean and U.K. governments, will also witness major tech companies like Meta, OpenAI, and Google roll out the latest versions of their AI models.
