AI Safety Index Report Card Released

▪

The Future of Life Institute released its comprehensive AI Safety Index evaluating nine leading artificial intelligence laboratories worldwide across thirty-seven indicators and six domains. Independent reviewers assigned no evaluated laboratory a grade higher than a C plus, signaling widespread governance and risk management deficiencies across the technology sector. Anthropic secured the top position with a C plus rating of 2.66, followed by OpenAI and Google DeepMind, both receiving a C grade. Meta platforms achieved a D plus designation, while xAI, DeepSeek, and Mistral received failing grades. The evaluation panel reported that major frontier laboratories have systematically weakened or eliminated prior commitments to pause development when approaching critical safety thresholds. Existential safety emerged as the lowest-scoring category industry-wide, with every major developer failing to exceed a D grade. The findings arrive as commercial scaling accelerates rapidly across the United States market amid growing scrutiny from independent policy experts.
