The Future of Life Institute published its Summer 2026 AI Safety Index last week. Seven independent researchers from UC Berkeley, Oxford, and University of Montreal graded nine AI companies across 37 indicators. The full results: 👉 Anthropic — C+ (2.66/4.0) 👉 OpenAI — C (2.28) 👉 Google DeepMind — C (2.01) 👉 Meta — D+ (1.32) 👉 Z.ai — D- (0.88) 👉 Alibaba Cloud — D- (0.87) 👉 xAI — F (0.65) 👉 DeepSeek — F (0.47) 👉 Mistral — F (0.33) The finding most coverage missed: the panel found that labs are not just failing to improve — they are actively walking back safety commitments they already made. Red line thresholds that were supposed to trigger development pauses are being quietly removed. Military AI bans that Anthropic, OpenAI and Meta all had are being reversed. The valedictorian of the AI industry scraped a 2.66 GPA.
