What should we do about frontier AI risks when there is still uncertainty about the most extreme long-term scenarios? Our new report argues that uncertainty should not delay practical action. Many AI capabilities, behaviours and harms can already be observed, studied and addressed.

The report argues that stronger AI verification & assurance will be essential if we are to understand whether AI-enabled systems remain dependable once deployed in real-world settings. As AI systems become more capable, we need better ways to assess and manage risks in practice.
