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 source confirms most elements of the claim but with one discrepancy: (1) CONFIRMED: FLI publishes the AI Safety Index biannually (Summer 2025, Winter 2025 editions mentioned). (2) CONTRADICTED: The source states the index evaluates EIGHT companies (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, xAI, Z.ai, Meta, DeepSeek, Alibaba Cloud), not seven as claimed. (3) CONTRADICTED: The source states 35 indicators, not 33 as claimed. (4) CONFIRMED: Six domains are evaluated (Risk Assessment, Current Harms, Safety Frameworks, Existential Safety, Governance & Accountability, Information Sharing). (5) CONFIRMED: The Winter 2025 finding aligns with the claim—the key finding states all companies lack explicit plans for controlling AGI/superintelligence, which substantiates the claim about inadequate guardrails for catastrophic misuse. The discrepancies in company count (8 vs 7) and indicator count (35 vs 33) are material factual errors in the claim.
