On 21 May 2024, the opening day of the AI Seoul Summit hosted by the UK and South Korea, 16 companies including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Meta, Microsoft, xAI, Mistral AI, Naver, Samsung Electronics and Zhipu AI agreed to publish safety frameworks for their frontier models. Each would set thresholds for severe risks it considers intolerable and would not develop or deploy a model at all if mitigations could not keep risks below them, with thresholds due before France’s AI Action Summit. The same day ten countries and the EU signed the Seoul Declaration and a statement of intent to build an international network of AI safety institutes.

Why it matters

Labs in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East put in writing that they would publish risk thresholds and stop work on any model that crossed them.
