Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic Plan AI Safety Body, The Information Reports

Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic are collaborating to establish a new AI safety standards body, as per The Information reports. The companies aim to launch the Standards Authority for Frontier AI by early 2027, initially without government oversight.

Background

  • The labs initially sought a body with federal oversight but encountered roadblocks due to a draft White House executive order lacking sufficient support.
  • This move comes after a week of significant AI governance discussions, including international calls for oversight and Sam Altman's address to the UN Security Council.

Plan and Details

  • The new body will be modeled after FINRA, the self-regulatory organization for US brokerage firms.
  • It is expected to set standards for testing models, reporting safety incidents, and certifying external auditors.
  • Initially, only Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic will be covered, with Microsoft, Meta, and xAI not listed as members in the reports.

Industry Reactions

The plan has sparked debate, with critics questioning the effectiveness of self-regulation. Bill Gates and Nick Clegg have both expressed concerns about the limitations of self-policing in the AI industry.
