Type of organization
An artificial intelligence safety institute [ 1 ] is a type of state-backed organization aiming to evaluate and ensure the safety of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models, also called frontier AI models . [ 2 ]
AI safety gained prominence in 2023, notably with public declarations about potential existential risks from AI . During the AI Safety Summit in November 2023, the United Kingdom and the United States both created their own AISI. During the AI Seoul Summit in May 2024, international leaders agreed to form a network of AI Safety Institutes, comprising institutes from the UK, the US, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Singapore, South Korea, Australia, Canada and the European Union. [ 1 ] In 2025, the UK's AI Safety Institute was renamed the "AI Security Institute", and its US counterpart became the Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI).
Timeline
[ edit ]
In 2023, Rishi Sunak , the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, expressed his intention to "make the UK not just the intellectual home but the geographical home of global AI safety regulation" and unveiled plans for an AI Safety Summit. [ 3 ] He emphasized the need for independent safety evaluations, stating that AI companies cannot "mark their own homework". [ 4 ] During the summit in November 2023, the UK AISI was officially established as an evolution of the Frontier AI Taskforce , [ 5 ] and the US AISI as part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology . Japan followed by launching an AI safety institute in February 2024. [ 6 ]
Politico reported in April 2024 that many AI companies had not shared pre-deployment access to their most advanced AI models for evaluation. Meta 's president of global affairs Nick Clegg said that many AI companies were waiting for the UK and the US AI Safety Institutes to work out common evaluation rules and procedures. [ 7 ] An agreement was indeed concluded between the UK and the US in April 2024 to collaborate on at least one joint safety test. [ 8 ] Initially established in London , the UK AI Safety Institute announced in May 2024 that it would open an office in San Francisco , where many AI companies are located. This is part of a plan to "set new, international standards on AI safety", according to UK's technology minister Michele Donelan . [ 9 ] [ 10 ]
At the AI Seoul Summit in May 2024, the European Union and other countries agreed to create their own AI safety institutes, forming an international network. [ 1 ]
