The International Network of AI
Safety Institutes, which aims to develop a unified understanding
of AI safety risks and mitigation strategies, has started work.
AI safety institutes and government-mandated offices from
Australia, Canada, the European Commission, France, Japan,
Kenya, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and
the United States convened in San Francisco for the first
meeting of the network.
The European Commission said in a statement that initiative
marks the beginning of a new phase of international
collaboration on AI safety.
The Network brings together technical organisations dedicated to
advancing AI safety, helping governments and societies better
understand the risks posed by advanced AI systems, and proposing
solutions to mitigate these risks.
Beyond addressing potential harms, the institutes and offices
involved will guide the responsible development and deployment
of AI systems.
The International Network of AI Safety Institutes will serve as
a forum for collaboration, bringing together technical expertise
to address AI safety risks and best practices.
It will focus on four priority areas: research, testing,
guidance and inclusion.
The network will collaborate with the scientific community to
advance research on the risks and capabilities of advanced AI
systems, while sharing key findings to strengthen the science of
AI safety.
The institutes will also facilitate shared approaches to
interpreting test results for advanced AI systems to ensure
consistent and effective responses.
Partners and stakeholders in regions will be engaged at all
stages of development, by sharing information and technical
tools in accessible ways to broaden participation in AI safety
science.
Through this Network, the members commit to advancing
international alignment on AI safety research, testing, and
guidance. By fostering technical collaboration and inclusivity,
they aim to ensure that the benefits of safe, secure, and
trustworthy AI innovation are shared widely, enabling humanity
to fully realise the new technology's potential.
