China’s leading AI developers have publicly disclosed model-specific safety-test results for only a small fraction of their releases, a report by research firm SemiAnalysis said, as concerns about the risks posed by advanced AI systems increase worldwide.
\n\nCalifornia-based SemiAnalysis, a technology research firm, reviewed 857 models released between 2021 and September 15 by nine leading Chinese AI companies — Alibaba, ByteDance, Tencent, Baidu, DeepSeek, Moonshot, Z.AI, MiniMax and StepFun.
\n\nIt found that 31 releases, or 3.6%, had a published safety-evaluation result that could be matched to a specific model. Just nine, or 1.1%, had such results available at or before launch, it said. Researchers found no safety disclosure for 813 releases, though companies could have conducted tests privately.
\n\nSemiAnalysis said it defined disclosures as specific results tied to a named model — including tests of harmful output, jailbreak resistance, toxicity, privacy, refusal behaviour or dangerous capabilities — and did not count general claims that a model had been safety-trained or evaluated.
\n\nThe findings come as security incidents involving autonomous AI agents — systems that undertake multistep tasks with limited human intervention — have intensified global debate over whether companies should slow down to build safer models.
\n\nThe vast majority of…
