As leading artificial intelligence companies release increasingly
capable AI systems, a new report is sounding the alarm about what it
says are some of those companies’ lagging safety practices.

The Winter 2025 AI Safety Index, which examines the safety protocols
of eight leading AI companies, found that their approaches “lack the
concrete safeguards, independent oversight and credible long-term
risk-management strategies that such powerful systems demand.”

FLI President Max Tegmark, an MIT professor, said the report provided
clear evidence that AI companies are speeding toward a dangerous
future, partly because of a lack of regulations around AI.

“The only reason that there are so many C’s and D’s and F’s in the
report is because there are fewer regulations on AI than on making
sandwiches,” Tegmark told NBC News, referring to the continued lack of
adequate AI laws and the established nature of food-safety regulation.
