Google DeepMind has introduced a new initiative known as the Frontier Safety Framework, designed to proactively identify and mitigate potential high-level risks associated with future AI capabilities. The initial framework is expected to be implemented in early 2025.

This framework highlights several important aspects: It examines the risks associated with advanced AI models, emphasizes severe threats like strong autonomous decision-making or cyber abilities, complements the company's other research and safety measures, and can be adjusted based on new insights and collaborations.

Google DeepMind claims that the major advantage of using the Frontier Safety Framework is its ability to identify and mitigate potential advanced AI risks ahead of time. The company expects that while the identified risks are currently beyond the capabilities of existing models, the Framework will help in preparing to address them effectively as and when they become relevant.
