AI Safety, Alignment & Security

AI Safety, Alignment & Security maps the institutions, frameworks and records that govern serious risks from advanced AI — the national and international safety and security institutes, the frontier developers' own published safety frameworks, the incident and harm databases, and the adversarial-threat taxonomies — each linked to the authority that publishes it.

This is a switchboard: it attributes and points to the primary sources. It does not rank them, rate them, or add an assessment of its own. Every entry names its issuing authority, links to that authority's own page, and records when it was verified.

The bodies and developers listed here publish their own evaluations, frameworks and records. The AI Center gathers them in one neutral, sourced place and points you to each; it does not re-originate, rank or assess their work.

How this switchboard is maintained

  • Every entry names the authority that publishes it and links to that authority's own official page.
  • Entries are described neutrally — what each resource is, not whether it is good. Nothing here is ranked, rated or recommended.
  • Fast-moving details — framework versions, institute names, incident counts — are verified against the primary source and dated. Counts are never reproduced here because they change continuously; follow the link for the current figure.
  • The AI Center links each organisation's own page and does not reproduce or re-originate its work.

Who coordinates AI safety and security evaluation internationally?

A network of national AI safety and security institutes coordinates technical research and evaluation of advanced-AI risks across governments.

The International Network of AI Safety Institutes was launched in San Francisco on 21 November 2024 by founding members including Australia, Canada, the European Commission, France, Japan, Kenya, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States; its mission statement is published by the Government of Canada. Several members have since been renamed — the UK's is now the AI Security Institute, and the United States' is the Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) at NIST.

What is a frontier AI safety framework?

A frontier AI safety framework is a policy a developer publishes describing the dangerous-capability thresholds it will watch for and the safeguards it commits to apply before training or releasing models that reach them.

These frameworks are published by the developers themselves — for example Anthropic's Responsible Scaling Policy, OpenAI's Preparedness Framework and Google DeepMind's Frontier Safety Framework — under the Frontier AI Safety Commitments made by companies at the AI Seoul Summit in May 2024. The AI Center lists each developer's own current framework and links to it; it does not compare or rate them.
