“This mapping process helps us isolate where the strongest mitigations are needed to curtail the greatest risk. In practice, some aspects of our security practices may exceed the baseline levels recommended here...”
This analysis describes what Google DeepMind's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The use of 'may exceed' rather than 'will exceed' means this is a possibility, not a commitment, and the baseline remains the operative floor established by the Framework.
Interpretive note: The excerpt ends with an ellipsis, suggesting additional content may follow. The canonical claim covers only the primary proposition in the available text. The preceding sentence about the mapping process was noted but not made the primary claim.
Readers are informed that the Framework's baseline security levels are the floor, and Google DeepMind acknowledges the possibility—but not the certainty—that some practices will surpass them.
