Establishing AI Risk Thresholds: A Critical Global Policy Priority

As artificial intelligence continues to impact our lives, it increasingly poses serious risks to our economy, security, and social institutions. From job displacement, discrimination, and fraud to new emerging threats in bioweapon creation and cyberattacks, the risk space has grown as capabilities advance. This raises a critical question; who is responsible for hitting the brakes?

Join the AI Security Initiative at the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity to explore two key approaches: the internal risk thresholds being developed by AI companies as part of their safety frameworks, and the "red lines" governments are considering to halt dangerous development. In this virtual discussion, we'll ask what's working, what isn't, and what it will take to build effective guardrails for a technology that is rapidly reshaping our world.
