The US Commerce and State Departments convened the International Network of AI Safety Institutes in San Francisco on 20 and 21 November 2024, with ten initial members: Australia, Canada, the EU, France, Japan, Kenya, South Korea, Singapore, the UK and the US, which chairs it through its AI Safety Institute. Members announced more than $11 million in research funding on synthetic content and reported a joint testing exercise on Meta’s Llama 3.1 405B, and the US launched the TRAINS Taskforce to test advanced models for national security risks.

Why it matters

Ten governments agreed to share evaluation methods and test results on advanced models, and the network later renamed itself the International Network for Advanced AI Measurement, Evaluation and Science.
