Summary

First-mover industry safety framework. Introduces the AI Safety Level (ASL) capability-tier vocabulary subsequently adapted by OpenAI Preparedness + DeepMind FSF. v2 (Oct 2024) refines ASL-3/ASL-4 capability thresholds, mandates pre-deployment capability evaluations, and commits to a Frontier Red Team. Seoul Frontier AI Safety Commitments signatory; cited by name in EU AI Office GPAI Code of Practice drafts. NOTE (iter-314): the RSP is a versioned-evolving artefact; this row pins v2 (Oct 2024) as the load-bearing reference, but Anthropic publishes incremental updates on the policy page. Citers tracking specific ASL-4 threshold language should confirm against the current version on anthropic.com — the catalog re-pins on the next Coverage Games event. Currency (2026-06-21): superseded as a reference by RSP v3.x (current v3.3, 2026-05-26) — v3.0 (24 Feb 2026) was a comprehensive rewrite that replaced the binding ASL hard-limit with a Frontier Safety Roadmap of publicly-declared targets plus Risk Reports and independent external review, so the v2 (Oct 2024) ASL-threshold language this row pins is now two major versions out of date.
