DeepMind Bigbrain Calls for America to Set AI Standards Before It's Too Late
Hassabis said the body should test models for cybersecurity and biological risks and be funded by industry, with deployment review required after approval.
- On Tuesday, Google DeepMind boss Demis Hassabis proposed a U.S.-led AI Standards Body to oversee frontier models and assess cybersecurity, biological, and nuclear risks.
- President Donald Trump's administration froze Anthropic's models last month with export orders, prompting weeks of difficult negotiations that Hassabis called 'a bit of a wake-up call.'
- Modelled after the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the proposed body would be a public-private partnership funded by industry, with power to coordinate 'a slowdown in development among the Frontier Labs if deemed necessary.'
- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI's Sam Altman have also advocated for similar regulatory frameworks, as Chinese AI models gain traction among U.S. companies amid rising costs.
- Within 18 months, Hassabis warned that graver biological and nuclear tools could emerge from open-source models; he aims to have the framework operational by year-end.

AI will herald “a new age for humanity,” Hassabis wrote, greater than the Industrial Revolution, but only if deployed responsibly. As it stands, we are not “[giving] ourselves the time and space” to get it right. He said the US should establi…
