Dario Amodei’s prepared remarks from the AI Safety Summit on Anthropic’s Responsible Scaling Policy

Anthropic's Responsible Scaling Policy (RSP) is a framework aimed at mitigating AI-related risks by establishing a system to monitor and respond to emerging threats. The policy, developed in response to the rapid progress of AI systems, has two major components: AI safety levels (ASL), which categorize models based on their risk level, and frequent testing for dangerous capabilities. ASL-1 represents low-risk models, while ASL-3 and ASL-4 represent increasingly severe risks, with ASL-4 triggering concerns about autonomous AI systems posing a significant threat to society. The policy emphasizes the importance of executive involvement, making protocols into product and research requirements, accountability, and collaboration between companies and governments to refine and improve RSP-style frameworks.
