The Prime Minister joined a call chaired by French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss how artificial intelligence could support medical breakthroughs alongside the development of international standards for its governance.

The discussions highlighted the expertise offered by the United Kingdom Artificial Intelligence Security Institute ahead of the G20 presidency in 2027.

The call brought together two connected ambitions: using AI to advance medicine and co-ordinating how the technology is governed internationally. Medical breakthroughs were a goal of the discussions, rather than a reported outcome. The specific standards under consideration and how the institute’s expertise would be used were not detailed.
