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.
