The 2025 International AI Safety Report: Global Perspectives on the Risks and Future of AI

In this episode of our special season, SHIFTERLABS leverages Google LM to demystify cutting-edge research, translating complex insights into actionable knowledge. Today, we dive into the “International Scientific Report on the Safety of Advanced AI (2025)”, chaired by Prof. Yoshua Bengio and developed with contributions from 96 AI experts representing 30 countries, the UN, the EU, and the OECD.

 

This landmark report, presented ahead of the AI Action Summit in Paris, offers the most comprehensive global analysisof AI risks to date. From malicious use threats—such as AI-powered cyberattacks and bioweapon risks—to systemic concerns like economic displacement, global AI divides, and loss of human control, the report outlines critical challenges that policymakers must address.

 

The findings reveal that AI is advancing at an unprecedented pace, surpassing expert predictions in reasoning, programming, and autonomy. While AI presents vast benefits, the report warns of an “evidence dilemma”—where policymakers must navigate risks without a clear roadmap, balancing AI’s potential against unforeseen consequences.

 

How can we mitigate AI risks while maximizing its benefits? What strategies are governments and industry leaders proposing to ensure AI safety? And most importantly, what does this mean for the future of education, labor markets, and global security?

 

Join us as we break down this essential report, translate its findings into actionable insights, and explore how SHIFTERLABS is preparing educators and institutions for the AI-integrated future.

 

🔍 This episode is part of our mission to make AI research accessible, bridging the gap between innovation and education in an AI-integrated world.
