Frontier Mannequin Discussion board

Governments and business agree that, whereas AI presents great promise to profit the world, applicable guardrails are required to mitigate dangers. Essential contributions to those efforts have already been made by the US and UK governments, the European Union, the OECD, the G7 (by way of the Hiroshima AI course of), and others. 

To construct on these efforts, additional work is required on security requirements and evaluations to make sure frontier AI fashions are developed and deployed responsibly. The Discussion board will likely be one car for cross-organizational discussions and actions on AI security and accountability.  

The Discussion board will concentrate on three key areas over the approaching yr to help the protected and accountable growth of frontier AI fashions:

• Figuring out finest practices: Promote information sharing and finest practices amongst business, governments, civil society, and academia, with a concentrate on security requirements and security practices to mitigate a variety of potential dangers. 
• Advancing AI security analysis: Help the AI security ecosystem by figuring out a very powerful open analysis questions on AI security. The Discussion board will coordinate analysis to progress these efforts in areas resembling adversarial robustness, mechanistic interpretability, scalable oversight, unbiased analysis entry, emergent behaviors and anomaly detection. There will likely be a robust focus initially on growing and sharing a public library of technical evaluations and benchmarks for frontier AI fashions.
• Facilitating info sharing amongst corporations and governments: Set up trusted, safe mechanisms for sharing info amongst corporations, governments and related stakeholders concerning AI security and dangers. The Discussion board will observe finest practices in accountable disclosure from areas resembling cybersecurity.

Kent Walker, President, World Affairs, Google & Alphabet stated: “We’re excited to work along with different main corporations, sharing technical experience to advertise accountable AI innovation. We’re all going to want to work collectively to verify AI advantages everybody.”

Brad Smith, Vice Chair & President, Microsoft stated: “Corporations creating AI expertise have a accountability to make sure that it’s protected, safe, and stays underneath human management. This initiative is a crucial step to convey the tech sector collectively in advancing AI responsibly and tackling the challenges in order that it advantages all of humanity.”

Anna Makanju, Vice President of World Affairs, OpenAI stated: “Superior AI applied sciences have the potential to profoundly profit society, and the flexibility to realize this potential requires oversight and governance. It’s critical that AI corporations–particularly these engaged on probably the most highly effective fashions–align on widespread floor and advance considerate and adaptable security practices to make sure highly effective AI instruments have the broadest profit potential. That is pressing work and this discussion board is well-positioned to behave rapidly to advance the state of AI security.” 

Dario Amodei, CEO, Anthropic stated: “Anthropic believes that AI has the potential to basically change how the world works. We’re excited to collaborate with business, civil society, authorities, and academia to advertise protected and accountable growth of the expertise. The Frontier Mannequin Discussion board will play an important function in coordinating finest practices and sharing analysis on frontier AI security.”
