The report aims to provide decision-makers in government and beyond with a shared and authoritative global picture of AI's risks and impacts. The second iteration of this report, published in February 2026, continues to build on the findings of the 2025 edition, offering insights into the latest scientific research on AI capabilities and risks. The 2026 report includes an Extended Summary for Policymakers, which provides a detailed overview of key findings, concrete examples, and notable developments since the previous edition. It addresses three central questions: what general-purpose AI can do today, what emerging risks it poses, and how those risks can be mitigated.
Additionally, the report features an Executive Summary that condenses the core findings into a concise format, covering advancements in AI capabilities, emerging risks, and risk management approaches. It highlights the progress made in technical, institutional, and societal measures to manage these risks, while also acknowledging the limitations that remain. The report is available in translated versions in the other five official UN languages, ensuring accessibility to a broader audience. The insights provided in the International AI Safety Report are crucial for understanding the evolving landscape of AI technology and its implications for society.
