Future of Life Institute (FLI) — publication: AI Safety Index published biannually (Summer 2025, Winter 2025). Evaluates 7 leading AI companies on 33 indicators across 6 domains. Winter 2025 finding: no company has adequate guardrails for catastrophic misuse.

NoteThe claim is mostly accurate but contains two numerical discrepancies: (1) The source evaluates 8 companies (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, xAI, Z.ai, Meta, DeepSeek, Alibaba Cloud), not 7 as claimed. (2) The source states '35 indicators spanning six critical domains' in the methodology section, not 33 indicators as claimed. The claim about biannual publication (Summer 2025, Winter 2025) is confirmed. The Winter 2025 finding about inadequate guardrails for catastrophic misuse is substantially confirmed by the key finding that companies lack 'explicit plans for controlling or aligning such smarter-than-human technology' and the recommendation that all companies must 'produce concrete, evidence-based safeguards.' The temporal reference 'as of 2025-12' aligns with the December 2025 publication date. These numerical discrepancies warrant a 'partial' verdict rather than 'confirmed.'
