AI Regulation Frontier AI Regulation: Managing Emerging Risks to Public Safety July 2023 Markus Anderljung, Joslyn Barnhart, Anton Korinek, Jade Leung, Cullen O’Keefe, Jess Whittlestone, et al. Advanc

The paper focuses on 'frontier AI' models: highly capable foundation models that could possess dangerous capabilities sufficient to pose severe risks to public safety. It argues that regulating them requires three building blocks: standard-setting, registration and reporting requirements, and mechanisms to ensure compliance. It also proposes an initial set of safety standards, including pre-deployment risk assessments and monitoring and responding to new information after deployment.
