Recently, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, signed a memorandum of understanding with the UK government to explore the application of advanced artificial intelligence models in public services. The signing of this agreement indicates that OpenAI will seek effective deployment of AI technology in various areas of the government, including justice, security, and education.

Altman signed the agreement with Peter Kyle, the UK Minister for Science and Technology, on Monday. This collaboration is not only an important step for OpenAI and the UK government, but also follows a similar agreement between Google and the UK government. Some people have expressed concerns that such collaborations may lead to public sector reliance on private technology providers, thereby making it more challenging for the government to regulate these technologies.

According to the agreement, OpenAI and the UK government will jointly identify opportunities for effectively using advanced AI models within the government, aiming to help civil servants work more efficiently and help citizens better use public services. In addition, both parties plan to develop AI solutions to address major issues facing the UK, including justice, defense and security, and educational technology. The collaboration also includes expanding public understanding and participation in AI technology.

After signing the agreement, Altman stated that the UK has a long tradition in science, and the UK government had already recognized the potential of AI in its AI Opportunity Action Plan. He emphasized that it is now time to put these plans into practice and achieve prosperity for society as a whole.

Currently, OpenAI has more than 100 employees in the UK, and the company plans to further expand its business in the UK. At the same time, Google has also announced that it will collaborate with government technology experts to help the public sector deploy emerging technologies, improve efficiency, and accelerate scientific discoveries.

The public in the UK has differing views on rapidly developing AI technology. A survey conducted by Ipsos found that 31% of people are excited about the potential of AI, but also some concerns; while 30% of people are mainly concerned about the risks, but also hopeful about its possibilities.
