The Singapore Consensus on Global AI Safety Research Priorities

Rapidly improving AI capabilities and autonomy hold significant promise of transformation, but are also driving vigorous debate on how to ensure that AI is safe, i.e., trustworthy, reliable, and secure. Building a trusted ecosystem is therefore essential -- it helps people embrace AI with confidence and gives maximal space for innovation while avoiding backlash. The "2025 Singapore Conference on AI (SCAI): International Scientific Exchange on AI Safety" aimed to support research in this space by bringing together AI scientists across geographies to identify and synthesise research priorities in AI safety. This resulting report builds on the International AI Safety Report chaired by Yoshua Bengio and backed by 33 governments. By adopting a defence-in-depth model, this report organises AI safety research domains into three types: challenges with creating trustworthy AI systems (Development), challenges with evaluating their risks (Assessment), and challenges with monitoring and intervening after deployment (Control).

Towards Optimally Weighted Physics-Informed Neural Networks in Ocean Modelling

The carbon pump of the world's ocean plays a vital role in the biosphere and climate of the earth, urging improved understanding of the functions and influences of the ocean for climate change analyses. State-of-the-art techniques are required to develop models that can capture the complexity of ocean currents and temperature flows. This work explores the benefits of using physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) for solving partial differential equations related to ocean modeling; such as the Burgers, wave, and advection-diffusion equations. We explore the trade-offs of using data vs. physical models in PINNs for solving partial differential equations. PINNs account for the deviation from physical laws in order to improve learning and generalization. We observed how the relative weight between the data and physical model in the loss function influence training results, where small data sets benefit more from the added physics information.
