Three out of three CEOs of top AI companies agree: "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority."

How do they plan to do this?

Anthropic has a Responsible Scaling Policy, Google DeepMind has a Frontier Safety Framework, and OpenAI has a Preparedness Framework, all of which were updated in 2025.

Overview of the policies

 

All three policies have similar “bones”.[1] They:

• Take the same high-level approach: the company promises to test its AIs for dangerous capabilities during development; if they find that an AI has dangerous capabilities, they'll put safeguards in place to get the risk down to "acceptable levels" before they deploy it.
• Land on basically the same three AI capability areas to track: biosecurity threats, cybersecurity threats, and autonomous AI development.
• Focus on misuse more than misalignment.
