Responsible Capability Scaling Summary
Responsible Capability Scaling is crucial to manage risks associated with Frontier AI by conducting thorough risk assessments, pre-specifying risk thresholds, and committing to specific mitigations at each risk level. It involves monitoring AI systems continuously, sharing risk assessment processes with relevant authorities, and establishing robust internal accountability alongside external verification.
Model Evaluations and Red Teaming Summary
Model evaluations and red teaming provide insights into the risks associated with Frontier AI by evaluating models for potential harmful impacts and engaging in red teaming to understand possible misuse scenarios. Conducting evaluations at various checkpoints and involving external evaluators ensure comprehensive risk assessments throughout the model lifecycle.
Model Reporting and Information Sharing Summary
Transparency in Frontier AI can drive public trust and adoption, emphasizing the sharing of model agnostic and specific risk assessment information with relevant parties. Establishing clear processes for information sharing enables effective governance, best practice development, and informed decision-making about AI systems.
The UK recognises the enormous opportunities that AI can unlock across our economy and our society. However, without appropriate guardrails, such technologies can pose significant risks. The AI Safety Summit will focus on how best to manage the risks from frontier AI such as misuse, loss of control and societal harms. Frontier AI organisations play an important role in addressing these risks and promoting the safety of the development and deployment of frontier AI.
The UK has therefore encouraged frontier AI organisations to publish details on their frontier AI safety policies ahead of the AI Safety Summit hosted by the UK on 1 to 2 November 2023. This will provide transparency regarding how they are putting into practice voluntary AI safety commitments and enable the sharing of safety practices within the AI ecosystem. Transparency of AI systems can increase public trust, which can be a significant driver of AI adoption.
This document complements these publications by providing a potential list of frontier AI organisations’ safety policies.
