Executive summary: AI companies developing powerful AI systems should prioritize specific safety actions, including achieving extreme security optionality, preventing AI scheming and misuse, planning for AGI development, conducting safety research, and engaging responsibly with policymakers and the public.

Key points:

  1. Develop extreme security optionality for model weights and code by 2027, with a clear roadmap and validation.
  2. Implement robust control measures to prevent AI scheming and escape during internal deployment.
  3. Mitigate risks of external misuse through careful deployment strategies and capability evaluations.
  4. Create a comprehensive plan for AGI development, including government cooperation and nonproliferation efforts.
  5. Conduct and share safety research, boost external research, and provide deeper model access to safety researchers.
  6. Engage responsibly with policymakers and the public about AI progress, risks, and safety measures.
