NEW YORK: US artificial intelligence lab Anthropic scored the highest in a semiannual safety ranking, but globally the industry fails to combat “existential” threats, according to a report released on Tuesday.
Meta moved up two spots to fourth place, while xAI dropped three spots to seventh place, just ahead of China’s DeepSeek and France’s Mistral, which placed last, according to US-based AI safety think tank Future of Life Institute, which ranked nine of the world’s leading AI companies.
Seven researchers and governance experts determined the rankings based on public data and information provided by the companies.
They evaluated efforts across six distinct categories: risk assessment, current harms, safety frameworks, existential safety, governance and accountability, and information sharing.
No company received an “A” in any single category, while Anthropic got the best overall score of “C+.”
