SEOUL: More than a dozen of the world's leading artificial intelligence firms made fresh safety commitments at a global summit in Seoul on Tuesday, the British government said in a statement.

The agreement with 16 tech firms – which include ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, Google DeepMind and Anthropic – builds on the consensus reached at the inaugural global AI safety summit at Bletchley Park in Britain last year.
