About SaferAI

SaferAI is a fast-moving, mission-driven organization advancing and promoting AI risk management to reduce AI risks, in particular extreme risks from advanced AI systems. We’re uniquely positioned at the intersection of technical research work and policy, ensuring that the knowledge we produce has an impact on AI risk management and the governance of LLMs. 

Our technical work is key to maintaining and furthering the unique expertise we bring to governments and companies. We released the first AI risk management framework combining traditional risk management and frontier AI safety policies, cited by NVIDIA’s risk assessment work and influential on the EU Code of Practice. We co-drafted the G42 risk management policy. We developed the first AI risk management rating system for AI companies’ risk management practices, featured in TIME, TechCrunch and Euractiv, read by some government bodies and major investors. Additionally, we conduct research on developing risk models that enable us to aggregate existing empirical measurements (benchmarks, evaluations, incident reports) and turn them into granular risk quantification. 

As the only NGO member of a G7 OECD taskforce in charge of writing a reporting framework for the Hiroshima AI Process, a founding member of the US AI Safety Institute Consortium and a primary contributor to EU standards and GPAI Code of Practice, we’re responsible for significant contributions to AI risk management of large language models in the policy realm.
