The new agreement will see the countries pool knowledge and resources to strengthen safety testing...
The UK and US have signed a landmark deal to work together on testing advanced artificial intelligence.
The agreement signed on Monday says both countries will work together on developing "Robust" methods for evaluating the safety of AI tools and the systems that underpin them.
"Only by working together can we address the technology's risks head on and harness its enormous potential to help us all live easier and healthier lives."
The secretary of state for science, innovation and technology added that the agreement builds upon commitments made at the AI Safety Summit held in Bletchley Park in November 2023.
The event, attended by AI bosses including OpenAI's Sam Altman, Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis and tech billionaire Elon Musk, saw both the UK and US create AI Safety Institutes which aim to evaluate open and closed-source AI systems.
Currently, the majority of AI systems are only capable of performing single, intelligent tasks that would usually be completed by a human.
There are fears that more intelligent "General" AI tools - capable of completing a range of tasks usually performed by humans - could endanger humanity.
"AI, like chemical science, nuclear science, and biological science, can be weaponised and used for good or ill," Prof Sir Nigel Shadbolt told the BBC's Today programme.
Gina Raimondo, the US commerce secretary, said the agreement will give the governments a better understanding of AI systems, which will allow them to give better guidance.
