Frontier Model Forum

What Frontier Model Forum does

The Frontier Model Forum (FMF) is an industry-supported non-profit (501(c)(6)) dedicated to advancing “frontier” AI safety and security. Its core mandates are to (1) identify best practices and support standards development for frontier AI safety and security, (2) advance the science of frontier AI safety and security, and (3) facilitate information sharing about frontier AI safety and security among government, academia, civil society, and industry, with a primary focus on risks to public safety and security such as chemical/biological/radiological/nuclear (CBRN) and advanced cyber threats. FMF is led by Executive Director Chris Meserole and is governed by an operating board with representatives from its member organizations.
