# AI Safety Summits
Governments are exploring collaboration on navigating a world with advanced AI. FLI provides them with advice and support.
Bletchley Park, the venue of the UK AI Safety Summit in 2023.
## What are the AI Safety Summits?
AI Safety Summits are bi-annual international meetings hosted by States to discuss the safety and regulation of artificial intelligence, particularly advanced AI systems. The first AI Safety Summit was convened by the United Kingdom at Bletchley Park in November 2023. Following the second AI Safety Summit in [Seoul](https://futureoflife.org/ai-policy/statement-seoul-ai-safety-summit/) on May 21-22 2024, France has been designated to host the third one in February 2025.
## Why do the Summits matter?
Major companies are locked in a race to develop increasingly advanced AI systems, which can be misused by malicious groups to carry out cyber attacks on digital infrastructure or to create new biochemical weapons. These technological advances also risk consolidating power into the hands of a limited number of private companies. Government intervention and international coordination are essential to mitigate these risks. Safety Summits are key opportunities for AI governance: they enable international cooperation on concrete outcomes. For example, one of the objectives of the first AI Safety Summit was to develop a global shared understanding of the risks posed by advanced AI systems. As a result, an international expert panel drafted the [International AI Safety Report](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/international-scientific-report-on-advanced-ai-safety-expert-advisory-panel-and-principles-and-procedures): an up-to-date scientific report on the safety of advanced AI systems.
## What is FLI's engagement with the Summits?
In the run up to the Summits, FLI supports the hosts and other participating countries with key insights on AI progress and recommendations on how to improve cooperation around AI safety.
