Stability AI, the UK’s leading generative AI firm and a British AI unicorn headquartered in London, is pleased to contribute to the upcoming AI Safety Summit hosted by the UK Government at Bletchley Park.
Emad Mostaque, founder and CEO of Stability AI, and Ben Brooks, Head of Public Policy at Stability AI, will participate in the summit.
Emad Mostaque, CEO of Stability AI, said, “As the leading British generative AI company, Stability AI is honoured to participate in the upcoming AI Safety Summit. The UK has a once in a generation opportunity to become an AI superpower and ensure that AI benefits all, not just big tech. Open technology is driving a wave of grassroots innovation in the UK and around the world that will greatly benefit economic growth and which is helping to promote transparency and competition in AI.
At this Summit, we will share our experience as a developer of the most popular generative AI models across image, language, code, audio, 3D, and video. We will encourage the Government and other policymakers to commit to supporting AI safety right across the ecosystem, from corporate labs to everyday researchers and from long-term threats to short-term risks, to keep Britain safe and competitive.
We believe this is best achieved through a shared vision of the positive transformation this technology will unleash as well as a clear understanding of the emerging risks so that we can innovate with integrity and align our efforts and systems to ensure our safety and security.”
About Stability AI
Stability AI is a global company headquartered in London, working to activate humanity’s potential through artificial intelligence (AI). Today, Stability AI develops a range of generative AI models for image, language, audio, and video. With appropriate safeguards, these models are shared openly to promote transparency and competition in AI. Stability AI’s flagship model, Stable Diffusion, is a family of open-source image models that powers up to ~80% of AI-generated imagery; their open-source language models have been downloaded over six million times; and their audio model, Stable Audio, was recently listed on the TIME Best Inventions of 2023.
Stability AI is committed to the safe development and safe deployment of open models. To that end, Stability AI has joined the White House Voluntary AI Commitments and participated in the first large-scale public evaluation of AI models announced by the White House. Stability AI recently testified in the UK Parliament and the US Congress and engages widely with researchers and governments around the world as they consider the future of AI oversight.
