International Scientific Report on Advanced ai Safety: A Landmark Publication
Experts from 30 countries worldwide will advise on a landmark report assessing the capabilities and risks of artificial intelligence (ai) systems. The International Scientific Report on Advanced ai Safety aims to bring together the best scientific research on ai safety to inform policymakers and future discussions on the safe development of ai technology.
Expert Advisory Panel
A well-rounded Expert Advisory Panel featuring 32 prominent international figures has been assembled for the report’s development. The panel includes esteemed experts such as:
- Dr Hiroaki Kitano, CTO of Sony in Japan
- Amandeep Gill, UN Envoy on Technology
- Dame Angela McLean, Chief Scientific Adviser (UK)
Landmark Publication
The report, guided by the principles of comprehensiveness, objectivity, transparency, and scientific assessment, will serve as a crucial tool in informing discussions on ai safety at global summits. Initial findings from the report will be published ahead of South Korea’s ai Safety Summit this spring, with a more complete publication following later that year, in preparation for France’s summit.
UK ai Safety Summit and Bletchley Declaration
The International Scientific Report on Advanced ai Safety builds upon the legacy of last November’s UK ai Safety Summit, where countries signed the Bletchley Declaration agreeing to collaborate on ai safety issues. This landmark summit resulted in the publication of a report highlighting the risks associated with frontier ai.
Legacy and Impact
Michelle Donelan, UK Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, emphasized the importance of this report as a “landmark publication” that brings together the best scientific research on ai’s capabilities and risks. This comprehensive document will be instrumental in guiding discussions at ai Safety Summits held by South Korea and France later this year.
Innovative Framework for Evaluation
The principles guiding the report’s development are inspired by those of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), ensuring a thorough and balanced evaluation of ai’s risks. This innovative framework ensures that experts will thoroughly assess the capabilities and potential threats posed by advanced ai technology.
