Singapore Consensus on Global AI Safety Research Priorities

The Singapore Consensus emerged from the International Scientific Exchange on AI Safety (ISESEA I), convened by Singapore alongside ICLR in April 2024, and was ultimately signed by 11 countries or jurisdictions — **rare in bringing both the US and China into the same AI safety document**. The consensus is organised around three research priorities: (1) standardisation of risk assessment methodologies; (2) cross-border red-teaming collaboration on frontier models; (3) safety thresholds for AI deployment in critical infrastructure. This is one of the highest-leverage outputs of Singapore's national AI-native strategy — using 0.07% of the world's population to establish a "neutral coordinate" in AI governance. Supporting mechanisms include ISESEA II (2026) for ongoing consensus updates, AISI as the coordination centre, and continuing output through the Bletchley / Seoul / Paris AI Summits.
