Artificial intelligence (AI) is already part of your everyday life. So it follows that, as part of your everyday life, you’ll want to be part of the debate about safety and ethics. As anyone who watched the AI agents head for the crucial red button in the first series of HBO’s Westworld knows, once that genie is out of the bottle, it can be hard to call it back in. It might have answered the cry a decade ago that, with AI, ‘the genie has escaped from the bottle and there is no way we can put him back,’ but GOOGLE DeepMind has now addressed the equally important question of where the genie is headed. It’s launched a new ‘Frontier Safety Framework’ to guide the future of AI development.
GOOGLE DeepMind’s announcement of the Frontier Safety Framework is at least as much a story about commitment to and forward-thinking in AI as it is about actual actions. GOOGLE takes a care-driven stance by placing safety at the top of its ambitious AI model. The Frontier Safety Framework reveals a greater business-driven trend in the AI industry of being more ethically responsible in the process of starting such a complex product. GOOGLE emerges from this news as an autonomous leader in AI ethics.
What is distinctive about the Frontier Safety Framework is that it attempts to address AI safety before anything has gone wrong. Like all ideas at GOOGLE Now, the exact protocols involved in the framework are kept under wraps by a developmental layer of secrecy. The three co-authors did indicate that the purpose of the framework was to determine risk before artificial intelligence was introduced and able to cause any damage. And it seems that GOOGLE has convinced itself of the moral imperative to go where no one has gone before and, not just advance technology, but ensure that it is good.
GOOGLE’s Frontier Safety Framework represents a new criterion for ‘good’ in the AI-safety literature. This creates a new paradigm for AI safety, where current concerns spur on a future vision for how AI and humans can interact safely. It’s a symbol of leadership among tech firms, and it could put GOOGLE far ahead of other firms in the race of technological development.
Since GOOGLE announced its Frontier Safety Framework, industry and commentators have published countless posts about it, such as Will Knight in Wired, Jan Leike pointing out its significance in the larger arena of the past five years of AI safety and ethics debates, and publications like The Verge, TechCrunch, and Bloomberg writing about it, showcasing just how many ripples such a move by GOOGLE can make in the tech industry.
It also marks a new direction for GOOGLE DeepMind’s exploring the frontiers of AI, for the Frontier Safety Framework is less about preventing great AI-induced catastrophe, and more about reshaping the entire tech community’s understanding of and relationship to AI in the first place. Whether or not it will turn out to be a universal guide to AI safety remains to be seen. It might be too early to tell. But DeepMind’s new effort is no small step, and offers hope for the path ahead.
Yet promoting its own positions, largely informed by specific GOOGLE research, as the direction for the field through initiatives such as the Frontier Safety Framework is not going to move anyone toward a discussion of what is ethically the right thing for the field to do. Behind GOOGLE’s efforts to guide AI ethics and safety lies its identity within the tech industry, and it’s a complex one: GOOGLE is not just the largest tech firm in the world; it is also a technology pioneer and, in its own dramatic way, an ethical pioneer. GOOGLE has mastered the art of being two things at once, or more accurately, three. Now it is also the leading tech innovator attempting to map out directions for ethical behaviour more broadly, by defining the terms of the debate so that they must seem reasonable to all sides.

Overall, GOOGLE DeepMind’s Opening up the Frontier Safety Framework signals that a new era has begun in creating new AI systems. This approach reflects an abiding concern about safety and ethics, and this announcement and the resulting report shows that GOOGLE is not just a new technology leader, but one that is exercising the role of a shepherd to steer us all into the next phase of new technologies with the safety of all of us in mind. Sitting on the edge of the growing power to create a near limitlessness of AI technologies, initiatives like this reassure us that we are taking steps to create the future that we want; one with a sky that remains safe.
