The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has published an article evaluating the effectiveness of national artificial intelligence (AI) safety institutes. The article highlights the importance of governments understanding the potential of AI in order to manage associated risks and harness its advantages.
In recent months, several countries, including the UK, US, Japan, Canada, and Singapore, have established specialised AI Safety Institutes (AISIs) to keep pace with the rapid advancement of AI technology. These institutes are responsible for assessing the capabilities and risks of AI systems, conducting essential safety research, sharing their findings, and promoting collaboration among stakeholders. The EU's AI Office will undertake similar duties through its AI Safety Unit in addition to its regulatory function. The OECD writes that the establishment of these institutes represents a significant stride towards developing a unified global strategy to ensure the safety and beneficial use of AI.
