Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis is calling on the United States to establish a new AI watchdog with authority to screen the world’s most advanced AI models and coordinate an industry-wide slowdown if dangers emerge. Hassabis, alongside Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, urged a U.S.-led coalition to shape AI rules and standards at a G7 meeting attended by heads of state. He has proposed a FINRA-style standards body to develop safety protocols and conduct testing before AGI deployment, citing a widening gap between AI capability and governance.
