The White House has declared that it is instituting what it terms "the most significant steps ever taken by any government to foster AI safety."
President Biden has ordered that AI developers must hand over their safety results to the US government via an executive order.
The US is a major participant in the worldwide discussion regarding AI regulation.
Nevertheless, the UK government had hoped that through the summit that it is organizing this week, it will be able to command this position.
The commencement of the two-day gathering at Bletchley Park is scheduled for 1 November, in response to fears that AI technology progressing at a rapid pace could bring about potential risks, including the manufacture of more lethal bio-weapons and the deployment of more paralyzing cyber assaults.
Krasodomski, a senior research associate with Chatham House, said to the BBC that the executive order expresses the notion that the US believes they should determine how to battle such threats.
In a statement, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Bruce Reed asserted that the US had put in place "the most significant suite of measures any government in the world has ever implemented with regard to AI safety, security, and trust". restrictions on who is allowed to enter the building.
There are limits on who can come into the building.
The Biden administration is strengthening its artificial intelligence staffing by providing a searchable listing of positions with AI expertise on AI.gov. This provides job seekers with opportunities to enter federal government employment in this field.
Mr Krasodomski declared the order to be of great significance, but one that was not necessarily compatible with the UK's agenda and aims for the summit.
He stated that the UK summit was referenced in the executive order, but it was specified under the title of 'advancing American leadership abroad', revealing that the US is aware that they are the key player, alongside China, but in particular, it's US businesses that are really pushing it forward.
Krasodomski noted: "We acknowledge it will be difficult to arrange a compact, highly technical summit. However, if we want this technology to have a noteworthy worldwide impact, there will need to be extensive work and collaboration with nations around the globe."
Kamala Harris, the US Vice President, and prominent figures from American technology businesses are coming to the UK this week for the UK government's keynote AI Summit. It has been referred to as a 'world first' by the UK government.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is hosting a summit with the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to address mounting concerns around the effects of AI at the forefront of research.
The UK has an ambition to be a pioneer in reducing the hazards that accompany this powerful technology.
However, the EU is currently in the process of passing an AI act, whereas China has established a considerable amount of strict AI regulations, and now the US has released this order.
Additionally, Reuters has reported that the G7 countries have reached a consensus to set forth a standard of operation for firms creating advanced AI.
The amount of discussion that will take place at Bletchley Park this week remains uncertain due to the amount of activity that has been generated.
