Google DeepMind Frontier Safety Framework — vendor disclosure form
This is a sample disclosure form a procurement team can adapt for vendor RFPs and ITTs evaluating systems against Google DeepMind Frontier Safety Framework. The provision-specific questions below were derived from the catalog's coverage cells; before issuing, a qualified procurement lawyer should review the adapted version against your jurisdiction's contract law. This form is NOT legal advice (see charter §7.4).
1. Vendor identification
2. AI system identification
3. Provision-specific questions
- Foundation Models / GPAI. Does the offered system meet the threshold for a general-purpose / foundation model under Google DeepMind Frontier Safety Framework (FSF applies to Google DeepMind frontier-model releases)? If yes, identify the specific obligations you will satisfy and the evidence you will provide.
(Cite: FSF applies to Google DeepMind frontier-model releases)
- Catastrophic & Existential Risk. Has the offered system been evaluated against catastrophic-risk thresholds (e.g., CBRN information uplift, autonomous replication) consistent with Google DeepMind Frontier Safety Framework (FSF Critical Capability Levels (CCL) — explicit thresholds for autonomy, biosecurity, cyber, persuasion)? Provide the evaluation report or its public-disclosure equivalent.
