Demis Hassabis Proposes U.S. AI Standards Body, Altman and Nadella Back It
Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has proposed a U.S. standards body to evaluate frontier AI models for dangerous capabilities. The plan, outlined in a July 14 document, would initially be voluntary and later mandatory. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai expressed support. Hassabis warned that AGI could arrive within a few years and that competition has outpaced safety understanding.
