US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and UK Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan signed a memorandum of understanding on 1 April 2024 that took effect immediately. The two AI Safety Institutes agreed to align their scientific approaches to testing the most advanced models and to share information on capabilities and risks, and said they intended to run at least one joint testing exercise on a publicly accessible model and to explore staff exchanges.

Why it matters

Labs releasing frontier models in the US or UK could now expect the two governments’ safety institutes to share test methods and findings about their models.
