The Frontier Model Forum was established by OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Anthropic, a company focused on AI safety and research, to promote responsible AI development. This forum aims to ensure the safe and ethical advancement of large-scale machine learning models, known as frontier models, that surpass the capabilities of current AI models. The partners are actively seeking organizations to join the Forum as members. Prospective members must demonstrate their commitment to developing and deploying frontier models while prioritizing their safety. They are also expected to contribute to advancing the Forum's efforts. The Forum's main focus will be on advancing AI safety research and fostering collaboration with policymakers, academics, civil society, and companies. The members will work together to identify best practices and develop applications that address significant societal challenges such as climate change, early cancer detection, and cyber threats. In the upcoming months, the Forum plans to establish an advisory board, while the founding companies will organize a charter, secure funding, and develop a governance structure with a working group and executive committee to oversee its initiatives. The Forum also intends to consult with governments and civil society to ensure effective design and collaboration.

OpenAI's vice president of global affairs, Anna Makanju, emphasized the importance of aligning AI companies, especially those working on powerful models, in advancing safety practices to maximize the benefits of advanced AI technologies. Google has already made progress in the medical domain with Med-PaLM, a generative AI technology that utilizes Google's LLMs to provide accurate and scientifically aligned answers to medical questions. In a recent study, Med-PaLM demonstrated alignment with scientific consensus in 92. 6% of questions across multiple medical question datasets. Microsoft has also made advancements with its collaboration with OpenAI's GPT-4 model. They developed a clinical documentation tool that creates notes based on patient conversations. Additionally, Microsoft is offering a new Azure Health Bot template that enables healthcare organizations to create chatbots using the Azure OpenAI Service. This template allows organizations to test fallback answers when the bot encounters unknown queries. Microsoft's collaboration with Epic, an EHR platform, aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of electronic health records through generative AI technology. The integration of Microsoft's Azure OpenAI Service with Epic's platform will enhance natural language queries and interactive data analysis.
