THE VICE PRESIDENT:  Hello, everyone. Good afternoon.  Please have a seat. Thank you to Ambassador Hartley for the warm welcome and leadership on behalf of the President, myself, and our country. It’s an honor to be here at the United States Embassy in London, with former Prime Minister Theresa May and leaders from the private sector, civil society, academia, and our international partners.
 
Tomorrow, I’ll participate in Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Global Summit on AI Safety to advance global collaboration on the responsible use of AI. Today, I’ll speak on the principles guiding America’s work on AI. President Biden and I believe that leaders across government, civil society, and the private sector have a duty to ensure AI benefits everyone and protects the public from harm.
 
AI holds immense potential for good, like developing life-saving medicines, improving agricultural production to combat food insecurity, and addressing climate change. Yet, just as AI can bring profound benefits, it can also pose serious risks—from AI-enabled cyberattacks to bio-weapons that threaten humanity. These threats demand global action.
 
But beyond these existential risks, AI presents other threats that urgently need our attention. Consider, for instance, a senior losing healthcare access due to a faulty algorithm, or someone threatened by deep-fake images. These are deeply personal and impactful. We must define AI safety to include a broad spectrum of risks—those to individuals, communities, and democratic institutions.
 
With this, I remember my mother, a scientist dedicated to raising her children and ending breast cancer. From her, I learned the power of innovation to uplift communities and drive humanity forward. History will show that now is the moment to lay the groundwork for AI’s future. Together, we can create a vision of AI that advances human rights, privacy, and equity while strengthening democracies and public interest.
 
Before generative AI captured global attention, President Biden and I began work on an AI Bill of Rights to ensure AI benefits are equitably shared and to address risks like deep fakes, privacy issues, and algorithmic bias. Building on this, President Biden recently directed the U.S. government to promote safe and trustworthy AI. This directive includes a national safety program to report AI risks in healthcare, tools for consumers to recognize AI-generated content, and a requirement for developers to submit AI safety test results to the government.
 
I am also pleased to announce the establishment of the United States AI Safety Institute, which will set rigorous standards for AI safety. Additionally, new policies will ensure AI used by the government advances public interest, serving as a model for global standards, as AI’s impact transcends borders.
 
Globally impactful technology requires global action. The United States will work with allies to apply and develop international rules and norms for AI. Earlier this year, we announced principles for responsible use of military AI, including a commitment to align with international humanitarian law. Today, I’m pleased to announce that 30 countries have joined this commitment.
 
In addition to governmental cooperation, civil society and the private sector play essential roles in AI governance. Civil society advocates for public interests and holds both public and private sectors accountable. In response to our call, 10 major philanthropic organizations have pledged $200 million toward worker protection, transparency, and anti-discrimination efforts in AI policy. We call on more civil society organizations to join this cause.
 
President Biden and I continue to work closely with private companies developing AI. Commercial interests are at the forefront of building and testing AI models that affect society, so we have collaborated with major AI firms to establish a baseline of responsible practices. These voluntary commitments include vulnerability reporting and security measures. While these are positive steps, they are not enough—regulation and strong oversight remain essential.
 
We recognize that legislation can strengthen AI safety without stifling innovation. The executive and legislative branches must work together to swiftly pass laws for AI and privacy protections. Even now, existing laws and regulations uphold our principles of privacy, accountability, and consumer protection, applying to AI firms today.
 
President Biden and I reject the notion that we must choose between public safety and innovation. We can and must do both, as the actions we take today will shape AI’s role in the future.
 
In closing, this is a moment of opportunity. AI’s benefits are vast—it can aid the fight against climate change, enable medical and scientific advancements, and improve lives. Let us seize this moment. As leaders from all sectors, let us work together to create a future where AI advances equity, rights, and the public good.
 
Thank you all.
