Today, Canada and the United Kingdom renewed their partnership on artificial intelligence (AI) security during a visit to London by the Honourable Evan Solomon, Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation.

The governments of the United Kingdom and Canada are renewing their partnership on AI security, building on the UK-Canada Science of AI Safety Partnership first announced in May 2024, and the UK-Canada Growth and Innovation partnership signed in 2025. The collaboration combines Canada’s AI research strengths with the UK’s expertise in AI testing and evaluation, supporting both countries’ efforts to understand and respond to emerging risks.

This marks the next step in a series of recent actions by both countries to advance global AI security. Prime Minister Burnham committed to putting AI at the heart of the UK’s G20 Presidency next year, in a speech at the UN General Assembly last month. The UK will work closely with others to bring the right partners together on the key issues, to deliver on the potential of AI for good, and to deal with the risks.
