Liz Truss has demanded Rishi Sunak withdraw his invitation to China to attend next week\u2019s AI summit at Bletchley Park.<\/p>\n
At his keynote AI speech this morning, Rishi Sunak rebuffed China hawks in the Tory Party and said \u201cno serious strategy for AI\u201d could exist without the involvement of China.<\/p>\n
This afternoon his predecessor hit back, saying she had been \u201cdeeply disturbed\u201d to learn about the invitation.<\/p>\n
In a letter to Mr Sunak, Liz Truss says it is wrong to extend the invitation to \u201cthe same Chinese state that has used and abused technology to aid its oppression of millions and attacks on freedom and democracy\u201d.<\/p>\n
While the PM says China must be involved in global discussions around regulating the technology, Ms Truss argues that the Communist regime in Beijing \u201chas a fundamentally different attitude to the West about AI\u201d.<\/p>\n
