Summary
The UK AI Safety Institute's fourth progress report documents its rapid institutional growth and key achievements through May 2024, including coordinating the first International Scientific Report on Advanced AI Safety across 30 countries, open-sourcing the Inspect evaluation framework, and expanding to over 30 researchers. The report illustrates how a government body can scale from a single researcher to a significant AI safety evaluation organization within a year.
Key Points
- •Published the first International Scientific Report on the Safety of Advanced AI, coordinating input from 30 countries
- •Open-sourced the Inspect evaluation platform for frontier model assessments, making evaluation tools publicly available
- •Grew from a single researcher in June 2023 to a team of over 30 researchers by May 2024
- •Established formal international partnerships with the US and Canadian AI Safety Institutes
- •Released technical blog posts on frontier model evaluations, contributing to transparency in AI capability assessment

### **Our fourth progress report**
In the run-up to the jointly hosted Seoul AI Safety Summit, the UK's AI Safety Institute is announcing:
- We are publishing [our first technical blog post](http://www.aisi.gov.uk/work/advanced-ai-evaluations-may-update) on our model evaluations. It contains headline results from an exercise AISI conducted on publicly available frontier models in April 2024. We ran tests across Cyber, Chem-Bio, Safeguards and Autonomous Systems.
- The UK has published the first [International Scientific Report on the Safety of Advanced AI](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/international-scientific-report-on-the-safety-of-advanced-ai), coordinating 30 countries on a survey of the scientific evidence on AI risk.
- We have open-sourced Inspect, our platform for running AI safety evaluations.
- We are opening a new office in San Francisco so that we can continue to work hand in glove with the US and tap global talent for the AISI on both sides of the Atlantic.
- Following our MoU to work interoperably with the US AI Safety Institute, Secretary of State Donelan has announced a new partnership to work with the Canadian AI Safety Institute, creating pathways to share expertise to support testing and evaluations work and enable secondment routes between our respective AISIs.
- As we continue to build model testing capacity and capabilities, we have now onboarded over 30 technical researchers. We have also appointed Jade Leung, who joined us in October last year, as our Chief Technology Officer.
We have been in operation for nearly a year, and this is our fourth progress report.
### **First, we built state capacity…**
In just four weeks, it will be one year since I joined the UK government as Chair of the AI Safety Institute. I
