Earlier this week, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis posted a proposal, 'A Framework for Frontier AI and the Dawning of a New Age'. He wants the US to establish a standards body modelled on Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (Finra), the industry-funded organisation that polices US broker-dealers under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Hassabis proposes frontier labs share their most advanced models with this body, voluntarily at first, up to 30 days before release, for testing against cyber, biological and deception risks. Once the testing regime proves itself, participation would stop being voluntary. No frontier model could launch for US users without passing the body's tests first.
