OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Anthropic Join Forces to Form Frontier Model Forum

Exciting news! Four AI leaders, including OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Anthropic, unite to form the Frontier Model Forum. Their mission is to ensure safe and responsible development of "frontier AI" models, addressing risks and promoting best practices.

The Frontier Model Forum aims to advance AI safety research, minimize risks, and enable standardized evaluations of capabilities and safety. They also plan to identify best practices for responsible development and help the public understand the technology's impact. 

Collaboration is key! The Frontier Model Forum will work with policymakers, academics, civil society, and companies to share knowledge about trust and safety risks. They're committed to developing applications that address society's greatest challenges. 

The Forum is open to new members who are developing and deploying frontier AI models, showing a strong commitment to safety. Advisory board, charter, governance, and funding structure are the first steps. Civil society and governments will be consulted for input. 

While the Frontier Model Forum is a voluntary initiative to address safety concerns, it also shows Big Tech's effort to self-regulate. As Europe advances with its AI rulebook and Biden considers future regulations, the industry is taking steps towards responsible innovation.
