As governments race to keep pace with increasingly powerful artificial intelligence systems, one of the industry's most influential executives is urging the United States to establish a formal oversight body to evaluate the world's most advanced AI models before they reach the public.
The proposal comes amid heightened scrutiny of frontier AI following recent government intervention in advanced model releases and growing geopolitical competition between the United States and China over leadership in artificial intelligence. AI governance has also become a larger national security issue as governments examine the technology's implications for cybersecurity, biological research and critical infrastructure.
