OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind join forces to create AI risk watchdog

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind are working together to establish an oversight body for AI risks, as confirmed by OpenAI to AFP on Tuesday. The initiative follows growing calls for better control of AI technology. The idea was proposed in July by Demis Hassabis, who suggested a model similar to the U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The U.S. government has launched a voluntary evaluation process for AI models, but President Trump has downplayed existential risks. The industry-led body aims to set safety standards and conduct testing.
