Frontier AI Safety Commitments
United Nations · Framework · UK and Republic of Korea governments
Our summary
A voluntary framework through which major frontier AI developers commit to safely developing and deploying their systems by assessing risks, defining mitigation thresholds, and maintaining transparency with governments and external stakeholders. Participating organisations agree to implement safety practices including red-teaming, security safeguards, and public reporting of model capabilities and limitations across the AI lifecycle.

Risk identification, assessment and management
Organisations commit to assess frontier AI risks across the lifecycle including before deployment and during training, considering model capabilities, context, and mitigation effectiveness. They must set thresholds for intolerable risks, developed with input from home governments and aligned with international agreements, accompanied by explanations and examples. They must identify and implement risk mitigations including safety controls and security for model weights.
Accountability, governance and transparency
Organisations developing frontier AI must strengthen their capability to fulfill prior commitments through sustained efforts in risk identification, threshold-setting, and mitigation monitoring. They must maintain processes that evaluate whether mitigations remain adequate and implement additional safeguards when needed to keep risks within defined limits, while adopting emerging best practices and scientific standards. Organisations must establish and regularly update internal governance structures with clear responsibility assignments and adequate funding, adhere to all commitments through these frameworks, and provide public information on their implementation except where this would heighten danger or unfairly expose business-sensitive details.
