### Governments have a critical role to play in ensuring advanced AI is safe, secure and beneficial.

The AI Security Institute is the first state-backed organisation dedicated to advancing this goal.

We are conducting research and building infrastructure to understand the capabilities and impacts of advanced AI and to develop and test risk mitigations.

We are also working with the wider research community, AI developers and other governments to affect how AI is developed and to shape global policymaking on this issue.
