The best AI safety grade - a C+.
Not from an underdog. From the leader.
The Future of Life Institute rated
major AI labs on risk management, transparency, and whether they
keep their own promises.
Anthropic - C+.
OpenAI and Google DeepMind - C.
Meta - D+.
xAI, DeepSeek, and Mistral
failed the assessment.
Even the leader barely scraped a C+.
Meanwhile, several labs have
quietly walked back their own
earlier safety commitments.
And all of this is happening
while AI gets trusted with
cybersecurity, medical reviews,
and autonomous agents.
If you’re trusting AI with
decisions, don’t ask:
“Which model is smarter ?”
“Who checked its safety ?”
