Conference on frontier AI safety frameworks

Note to readers: we changed our name to the AI Security Institute on 14 February 2025. Read more here.

At the AI Seoul Summit , 16 global AI companies committed to develop and publish safety frameworks for frontier AI systems before the French AI Action Summit in February 2025. These frameworks aim to define thresholds above which frontier AI systems would impose intolerable risk on society and to spell out how they intend to identify and mitigate risk to keep it below the thresholds, in a transparent, accountable manner. Committing to producing such frameworks is a laudable step.

However, this was only the first step. The science of AI and AI safety is young. To advance this science, we are organizing a conference, as a "Road to France" event, that will convene experts from signatory companies and from research organisations to discuss the most pressing challenges in the design and implementation of frontier AI safety frameworks.

The conference will take place on 21-22 November in the San Francisco Bay Area and is co-organized between the UK’s AI Safety Institute and the Centre for the Governance of AI. It is an invite-only conference for approximately 100 attendees.

The conference follows the first meeting of the International Network of AI Safety Institutes , which will be hosted by the US government and take place from November 20-21 2024 in San Francisco.

In advance of the conference, we are asking attendees to provide submissions discussing AI safety frameworks. To provide transparency on the conference’s agenda, we are sharing the call for submissions below. Closer to the conference, we also intend to publish a lightly edited set of conference proceedings, including most submissions.
