• AISN #66: AISN #66: Evaluating Frontier Models, New Gemini and Claude, Preemption is Back

  Welcome to the AI Safety Newsletter by the Center for AI Safety. We discuss developments in AI and AI safety. No technical background required.. Welcome to the AI Safety Newsletter by the Center for AI Safety. We discuss developments in AI and AI safety. No technical background required. In this edition we discuss the new AI Dashboard, recent frontier models from Google and Anthropic, and a revived push to preempt state AI regulations. Listen to the AI Safety Newsletter for free on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. CAIS Releases the AI Dashboard for Frontier Performance CAIS launched its AI Dashboard, which evaluates frontier AI systems on capability and safety benchmarks. The dashboard also tracks the industry's overall progression toward broader milestones such as AGI, automation of remote labor, and full self-driving. How the dashboard works. The AI Dashboard features three leaderboards—one for text, one for vision, and one for risks—where frontier models are ranked according to their average score across a battery of benchmarks. Because CAIS evaluates models directly across a wide range of tasks, the dashboard provides apples-to-apples comparisons of how different frontier models perform on the same set of evaluations and safety-relevant behaviors. Ranking frontier models for [...] ---Outline:(00:33) CAIS Releases the AI Dashboard for Frontier Performance(04:05) Politicians Revive Push for Moratorium on State AI Laws(06:39) Gemini 3 Pro and Claude Opus 4.5 Arrive(09:17) In Other News(09:20) Government(10:15) Industry(11:03) Civil Society(12:00) Discussion about this post --- First published: December 2nd, 2025 Source: https://newsletter.safe.ai/p/ai-safety-newsletter-66-aisn-66-evaluating --- Want more?

• AISN #65: Measuring Automation and Superintelligence Moratorium Letter

  Welcome to the AI Safety Newsletter by the Center for AI Safety. We discuss developments in AI and AI safety. No technical background required. In this edition: A new benchmark measures AI automation; 50,000 people, including top AI scientists, sign an open letter calling for a superintelligence moratorium. Listen to the AI Safety Newsletter for free on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. CAIS and Scale AI release Remote Labor Index The Center for AI Safety (CAIS) and Scale AI have released the Remote Labor Index (RLI), which tests whether AIs can automate a wide array of real computer work projects. RLI is intended to inform policy, AI research, and businesses about the effects of automation as AI continues to advance. RLI is the first benchmark of its kind. Previous AI benchmarks measure AIs on their intelligence and their abilities on isolated and specialized tasks, such as basic web browsing or coding. While these benchmarks measure useful capabilities, they don’t measure how AIs can affect the economy. RLI is the first benchmark to collect computer-based work projects from the real economy, containing work from many different professions, such as architecture, product design, video game development, and design.Examples of RLI Projects Current [...] ---Outline:(00:29) CAIS and Scale AI release Remote Labor Index(02:04) Bipartisan Coalition for Superintelligence Moratorium(04:18) In Other News(05:56) Discussion about this post --- First published: October 29th, 2025 Source: https://newsletter.safe.ai/p/ai-safety-newsletter-65-measuring --- Want more?

• AISN #63: New AGI Definition and Senate Bill Would Establish Liability for AI Harms

  In this edition: A new bill in the Senate would hold AI companies liable for harms their products create; China tightens its export controls on rare earth metals; a definition of AGI. As a reminder, we’re hiring a writer for the newsletter. Listen to the AI Safety Newsletter for free on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Senate Bill Would Establish Liability for AI Harms Sens. Dick Durbin, (D-Ill) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo) introduced the AI LEAD Act, which would establish a federal cause of action for people harmed by AI systems to sue AI companies. Corporations are usually liable for harms their products create. When a company sells a product in the United States that harms someone, that person can generally sue that company for damages under the doctrine of product liability. Those suits force companies to internalize the harms their products create—and incentivize them to make their products safer.

• AISN #63: California’s SB-53 Passes the Legislature

  In this edition: California's legislature sent SB-53—the ‘Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act’—to Governor Newsom's desk. If signed into law, California would become the first US state to regulate catastrophic risk. Listen to the AI Safety Newsletter for free on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. A note from Corin: I’m leaving the AI Safety Newsletter soon to start law school—but if you’d like to hear more from me, I’m planning to continue to write about AI in a new personal newsletter, Conditionals. On a related note, we’re also hiring a writer for the newsletter. California's SB-53 Passes the Legislature SB-53 is the Legislature's weaker sequel to last year's vetoed SB-1047. After Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed SB-1047 last year, he convened the Joint California Policy Working Group on AI Frontier Models. The group's June report recommended transparency, incident reporting, and whistleblower protections as near-term priorities for governing AI systems. SB-53 (the [...] ---Outline:(00:49) California's SB-53 Passes the Legislature(06:33) In Other News(08:37) Discussion about this post --- First published: September 24th, 2025 Source: https://newsletter.safe.ai/p/ai-safety-newsletter-63-californias --- Want more?
