AI Safety gets a push from Chris Meserole and a $10 million fund

Chris Meserole is the first executive director of the Frontier Model Forum, an industry body focused on global AI safety and responsible development. Meserole brings expertise in technology policy and governance, having previously served as director of the Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology Initiative at the Brookings Institution.

In addition, Forum members Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI, along with philanthropic partners, are committing more than $10 million to a new AI Safety Fund. The fund will advance AI safety research and support independent researchers around the world. The Frontier Model Forum also releases its first technical working group update on red teaming to expand the conversation on responsible AI governance approaches.
