US EditionAI Safety Report Warns Industry Is 'Structurally Unprepared' for Rising Risks
The Future of Life Institute found all major AI firms scored D or F on existential safety, with risks as high as one in three and no concrete mitigation plans.
- On Wednesday, the Future of Life Institute released the Winter 2025 AI Safety Index evaluating eight major AI developers including ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, finding most firms received failing grades for superintelligence safety plans.
- As model capabilities accelerate, voluntary safety frameworks lag behind rapid releases, and companies are pushing to build systems that could exceed human abilities this year.
- Only two firms narrowly earned a passing C grade, with Anthropic scoring highest at C+ while Alibaba Cloud and xAI received D-, and reviewers found frequent safety failures and weak robustness across all.
- The Index recommends that companies adopt independent safety evaluations and publish detailed safety frameworks, as reviewers noted they admit risks could be as high as one in three and fall short of California's SB 53 requirements.
- Experts warn the report reveals a widening gap on existential-risk planning, with every company scoring D or F on existential safety measures, Sabina Nong said.

New report finds dangerously overlooked flaw in leading AI companies' systems: 'Existential risk of the superintelligent systems'
Artificial intelligence companies are quickly expanding without the protections experts say are needed. According to NBC News, the Winter 2025 AI Safety Index reviewed eight companies across 35 indicators and found that these companies are rolling out increasingly powerful systems while leaving gaps in oversight. What's happening? The index evaluated areas such as risk-assessment procedures, information sharing processes, governance structures…
AI Safety Standards Found Lacking by Institute Study
Major artificial intelligence companies, including Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, and Meta, have safety practices that fall "far short of emerging global standards," according to a new edition of the Future of Life Institute's AI safety index. An independent panel of experts conducted the safety evaluation. The institute noted that companies were racing to develop superintelligence, yet none possessed a robust strategy for controlling such advanced sys…
