Policy Briefing — Bletchley Declaration sets AI safety cooperation agenda
Governments at the UK AI Safety Summit adopted the Bletchley Declaration on 1 November 2023, committing to international coordination on frontier model risks, information sharing, and evaluation infrastructure for safe AI development.
Twenty-eight governments and the EU signed the Bletchley Declaration during the UK AI Safety Summit on 1 November 2023, acknowledging risks from frontier AI systems and pledging joint research and governance efforts. Signatories committed to exchange information on model capabilities and incidents, support safety evaluations, and meet again in 2024 to advance shared testing infrastructure.
The declaration anchors a multilateral agenda for model oversight and transparency that providers should track as governments translate commitments into voluntary reporting mechanisms or regulatory requirements. Organizations developing or deploying frontier-scale models should prepare to supply safety evidence, red-team results, and capability disclosures aligned to emerging evaluation frameworks.
