Four major tech companies, Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, have joined forces to establish the Frontier Model Forum. The purpose of this collaboration is to ensure the responsible development of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models, specifically for frontier AI. These frontier models are large-scale machine-learning models that surpass the capabilities of existing advanced models and can perform a wide range of tasks.
The primary goals of the Frontier Model Forum, as announced in a blog post by Google, include advancing AI safety research to promote responsible development, identifying best practices for frontier model development and deployment, collaborating with various stakeholders to share knowledge about trust and safety risks, and supporting the development of applications that address significant challenges such as climate change, cancer detection, and cybersecurity.
To kick off their efforts, the Frontier Model Forum will establish an Advisory Board that will focus on formulating recommendations regarding safety standards for frontier AI models. Additionally, the group will engage in AI safety research and actively share their findings with other companies and governments.
Microsoft President Brad Smith emphasizes the importance of ensuring the safety and security of AI technology while maintaining its human-controlled nature. He views this initiative as a crucial step towards responsible AI development that benefits all of humanity.
The Frontier Model Forum remains open to inviting additional companies that are actively working on frontier AI models and demonstrate a strong commitment to frontier model safety, both technically and institutionally.
Overall, this collaborative effort among industry leaders aims to address concerns regarding the potential risks associated with generative AI. By establishing safety standards, sharing knowledge, and promoting responsible development, the Frontier Model Forum aims to contribute to a safer and more trustworthy AI landscape.
