Public consultation on AI risk thresholds

Deadline 10 September 2024

As discussed on an OECD.AI blog post, the OECD is joining forces with a diverse array of partners to explore the potential approaches, opportunities and limitations for establishing risk thresholds for advanced AI systems.

To inform this work, we are holding an open public consultation to obtain the views of all interested parties.

We are interested in hearing your thoughts on the following key questions:

  • What publications and/or other resources have you found useful on the topic of AI risk thresholds?
  • To what extent to you believe AI risk thresholds based on compute power are appropriate to mitigate risks from advanced AI systems?
  • To what extent do you believe that other types of AI risk thresholds (i.e., thresholds not explicitly tied to compute)would be valuable, and what are they?
  • What strategies and approaches can governments or companies use to identify and set out specific thresholds and measure real-world systems against those thresholds?
  • What requirements should be imposed for systems that exceed any given threshold?
  • What else should the OECD and collaborating organisations keep in mind with regards to designing and/or implementing AI risk thresholds?

To participate in the consultation, please provide your thoughts below. Discussion among participants is also encouraged.
