Summary

Bletchley follow-up. 16 frontier-AI-developer companies signed Frontier AI Safety Commitments alongside. Introduces measurable capability-evaluation expectations and pre-deployment thresholds; first instrument to formalise frontier-lab voluntary commitments as a governance category. Currency (2026-06-21): the 16 frontier-lab signatories met their core milestone by publishing frontier AI safety frameworks ahead of the Paris AI Action Summit (Feb 2025); the Seoul Declaration itself remains unamended and unsuperseded as the summit series continued (Paris 2025, India 2026). DRIFT-WATCH CORRECTION (2026-07-17, /wiki/drift.json): dates were 2024-05-22 — WRONG by one day. The date is embedded in the document's own official title ("...LEADERS' SESSION OF THE AI SEOUL SUMMIT, 21st MAY 2024") and corroborated by gov.uk (Published: 21 May 2024), ROK MOFA, and the Canadian PMO. Likely conflation with the separate "Seoul Ministerial Statement" (22 May).
