Nigeria, 28 other nations sign ‘Bletchley Declaration’ on safe use of AI

Nigeria has joined 28 other countries of the world to sign the Bletchley Declaration, the world’s first agreement establishing a shared understanding of the opportunities and risks posed by frontier AI and the need for governments to work together to meet the most significant challenges.

In an agreement signed on November 1, the 29 countries including the US, UK, China, Australia, Brazil, India and the European Union, have mutually agreed that while AI has the potential to transform and enhance human well-being, peace and prosperity, it also poses significant risks, including in those domains of daily life.

The agreement was signed at Bletchley Park in the UK as leading AI nations convened for the first time at the AI Summit to address concerns around the technology.
