The 2026 Singapore Consensus on Global AI Safety Research Priorities
This is a consensus report that provides a global framework for AI safety research priorities, but it is incremental, building on the 2025 report.
The paper presents the 2026 Singapore Consensus, a global report on AI safety research priorities, updated with a focus on societal resilience and autonomous AI agents, based on input from over 100 contributors across 13 countries.
Frontier AI capabilities and autonomy are advancing rapidly. A growing number of real-world incidents make a trusted AI ecosystem essential to embracing AI with confidence. The 2026 Singapore Consensus is an outcome of the second International Scientific Exchange on AI Safety, bringing together over 100 contributors spanning 13 countries from frontier developers, government safety institutes, academia, and civil society. Building on the 2025 report, it presents a global understanding of technical AI safety research problems of top priority, now with a dedicated focus on societal resilience and on managing the risks of increasingly autonomous AI agents.
