It's great to see Germany and the UK working together on this topic. The UK AISI is prob the leading goverment institution in AI right now, Germany can learn a lot from them and hopefully have a similar impact.

FYI

Room for more partners

Both sides describe the effort as open by design, consistent with EU AI Office work and existing global networks of public AI safety groups, without closing off additional bilateral deals.
