Summary
First binding bilateral on frontier-AI safety. Commits both AISIs to coordinated pre-deployment evaluations, red-team data sharing, methodological alignment on capability elicitation, and joint exercises across at least one major frontier-model release. Precedent for the broader AISI network (US, UK, JP, SG, CA, FR, KR) consolidated at the Seoul Summit; cited in Seoul Declaration §5-7 operationalising international coordination. Currency (2026-06-21): Both signatory bodies were since renamed — the UK AI Safety Institute became the UK AI Security Institute (14 Feb 2025) and the US AI Safety Institute became the Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) (June 2025) — but the MoU's joint pre-deployment evaluation and testing partnership remains in force and has expanded under the renamed institutes.
