The team builds scenario-based risk models that extend published work on AI timelines and systemic risk and uses them to identify practical mitigations such as monitoring infrastructure, deployment guidance and containment protocols.
Its analysis has been shared across government and is intended to inform real decisions by the organisations best placed to act.
