Comment by Rishi Sunak

Until now the only people testing the safety of new AI models have been the very companies developing it. We shouldn’t rely on them to mark their own homework, as many of them agree. Today we’ve reached a historic agreement, with governments and AI companies working together to test the safety of their models before and after they are released.

AI Verified Verified: the exact two-sentence passage appears on the cited UKAuthority article dated 3 November 2023, and it also appears verbatim in an official GOV.UK press release published 2 November 2023 under the attribution “Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said:”, confirming both the wording and attribution.

AI Verified Verified: This is from then-UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in early November 2023 at the conclusion of the AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park, announcing the agreement among governments and frontier AI companies for pre- and post-deployment safety testing. The ukauthority URL was blocked by WebFetch, but the "mark their own homework" phrasing and the broader announcement are widely documented (gov.uk, Wikipedia, Axios, TechCrunch, etc.). Year 2023 is correct. The vote "for" on "Mandate third-party audits for major AI systems" aligns - Sunak is explicitly arguing AI safety testing should not be left only to the companies themselves. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
