Bletchley Declaration — a 2023 statement signed by 28 countries and the EU affirming international cooperation on the safety of frontier AI.
Signed at the UK AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park in November 2023, the declaration was notable for bringing together countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and China around a shared acknowledgement of the risks posed by the most capable "frontier" AI models. It is a political statement, not a binding instrument, but it catalysed the network of national AI Safety Institutes and the subsequent summit series (Seoul, Paris) that now anchors international AI-safety coordination.
