- The International Network of AI Safety Institutes becomes the
International Network for Advanced AI Measurement, Evaluation and
Science
- Group's re-focus reflects long-term priorities and pace of
AIdevelopment, with
the UK taking on the role of Network Coordinator
- Changes confirmed following latest gathering of the group in
San Diego
Network members representing major global economies have
committed to re-double their shared focus on the science of
AI measurement and
evaluations following their latest round of talks in San Diego
last week.
The meeting confirmed the International Network of AI Safety Institutes' transition
into the International Network for Advanced AI Measurement Evaluation and
Science, reflecting its evolving priorities to ensure the science
of AI measurement
and evaluation can continue to keep pace with the technology's
development.
The UK now takes on a Network Coordinator role as part of the
changes, which will see it helping shape efforts to rigorous
approaches to scientific measurements of AI across the globe.
Established in November 2024, the Network brings together
Australia, Canada, the European Union, France, Japan, Kenya, the
Republic of Korea, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United
States to build shared scientific understanding and
internationally recognised approaches for measuring and
evaluating the capabilities of advanced AI.
Since its creation, the Network has exchanged knowledge on
AI evaluation and
measurement to help countries align on best practices. Boosting
public trust in the technology is vital to AI adoption - helping to unlock
groundbreaking innovations, deliver new jobs, and forge new
opportunities for businesses and innovators to scale up and
succeed.
The update reflects the Network's ongoing evolution. The San
Diego meeting took place alongside NeurIPS, one of the world's
leading AI research
conferences, offering an opportunity for deeper exchanges between
government, academia, and industry.
AI Minister said:
Trust in AI isn't a
choice - it's a necessity. That's why the Network's mission, and
our new role as its coordinator, is to make trust the foundation
of progress.
By bringing nations together on evaluation and research, we'll
lead from the front, shape the global future of AI, and unlock its benefits for
everyone.
Adam Beaumont, Interim Director of the AI Security Institute,
said:
Advanced AI systems
are being developed and deployed globally, so our approach to
evaluating them has to be global too. That is why this Network is
so important.
Our focus will be on supporting partners to develop rigorous,
practical ways of testing advanced AI.
