The International AI Safety Report 2025: Summary and Key Takeaways

Published on January 29, 2025, by the UK government, the International AI Safety Report is the first global synthesis of scientific evidence regarding the capabilities and risks of general-purpose AI (GPAI) systems. Chaired by Yoshua Bengio, working with an Expert Advisory Panel of around 100 AI experts appointed by 30 countries, the UN, EU, and OECD, the report aims to build a shared, evidence-based foundation for global understanding of advanced AI safety—but does not recommend specific policies.
