The AI Safety Institute (AISI)'s counterpart in China is currently the China AI Development and Safety Network (China AISI Network, which officially announced on September 25th, 2024 at the High-level Meeting on International Cooperation on Capacity-building of Artificial Intelligence (co-hosted by China and Zambia), at the headquarters of UN in New York, during the 2024 UN General Assembly.

We updated the camera-ready version for AAAI 2025 on arXiv last week, and it doesn’t include the appendix, which is why Table A1 is missing. The results remain the same in both versions, and previous version is available on Arxiv. Our future work will cover larger models such as 70B models on MATH and similar benchmarks, current version is only limited by computational resources at this point.

The efforts of AI Safety Summit, Scientific Reports on AI Safety, and various network of AISIs need to be incorporated and transformed into the AI Safety Process, to keep the continuity, effectiveness, and inclusivity. The AI Safety Process should not be influenced by the change of governments, hosts, and should be for good and for all.

We do not need AI everywhere. Use AI proportionally and avoid wild adoptions. Thanks for the interview from Science and Technology Daily.
How can humans coexist harmoniously with #AI? Zeng Yi, a professor at the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and an expert of the United Nations' high-level advisory body on AI, shared his insights in the program #TechWorld.

I am wondering what AI can learn from these human generated advertisements. May be fire those who made and agree to use this advertisement? AI is still an information processing tool, which still make mistakes human will never make. AI cannot and should not replace human.

It is not only about a racial bias remark and inclusivity. For any reason, if you do not find credible citations, as a scientist? even ask AI service within seconds (as attached) will help you get initial but much better understanding of what you do not know. By the way, in China, it starts at least after 1981 with "Morality" in the course name, and now the course is titled "Morality and the Rule of Law", starting from year 1 as primary school student (covering all 12 semester, 1 new book every semester) to the whole middle school education. I am also attaching two pictures of the book covers from the Web, one from 1980s, and one from recent versions @RosalindPicard

1/3 Today, an anecdote shared by an invited speaker at #NeurIPS2024 left many Chinese scholars, myself included, feeling uncomfortable. As a community, I believe we should take a moment to reflect on why such remarks in public discourse can be offensive and harmful.

There are many ways AI could go wrong to create (catastrophic) risks for human, let along misuse and abuse. Good memory for my first participation in Paris Peace Forum, and thank you for the interview. @ParisPeaceForum
"We have to be very cautious in the way we use AI to assist decison making - AI should never ever be used to control nuclear weapons, AI should not be used for lethal autonomous weapons." @yi_zeng, Founding Director of Beijing Institute of AI Safety and Governance #PPF2024

Glad to be invited by Paris Peace Forum @ParisPeaceForum on a Spotlight event "AI: An anthropological revolution?" With such an important topic and limited time, the discussion is only a beginning. Watch it here

UK AI Safety Institute (UK AISI)'s visit to the Beijing Institute of AI Safety and Governance (Beijing-AISI) locally at the West Beijing AI Valley. Beijing-AISI's first group of face to face international visitors since its establishment last month. Beijing-AISI introduced several new research we did this month. It takes the world to keep AI safe, at our best, for all.

Glad to join UNIDIR as a Senior Fellow. Military AI needs a new perspective, and let's Think and Act from the perspective of AI for International Peace and Security. Fundamental research on AI Safety and Security will bring new insights on how we perceive and use AI in military AI responsibly.
Meet our Senior Fellow @yi_zeng! 🤝🇺🇳 Yi is the founding director of @long_term_ai, a Professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a member of the @UN Advisory Body on AI. He has briefed the UN on AI for International Peace and Security and was named in @TIME's 100 AI list🌐

The release of United Nations Advisory Body Final Report on "Governing AI for Humanities" . Glad to be in this journey as a member of the advisory body. It is a millstone, and a new beginning, for world AI efforts, leaving no one behind.
