Exclusive: Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis calls for U.S.-led global AI watchdog - Axios
Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis advocates for a global AI regulatory body led by the United States to oversee advanced systems.
- Hassabis proposes a US-led global AI watchdog
- The body would resemble CERN or the IAEA
- He believes the US is best positioned to lead this effort
- The call highlights the need for international AI safety standards
Demis Hassabis, the head of Google DeepMind, has publicly urged the creation of an international organization dedicated to AI safety. He suggests this body should be led by the United States to ensure effective oversight of rapidly advancing technologies.
In an interview with Axios, Hassabis compared the proposed entity to CERN or the IAEA. He emphasized that while the UK has hosted the AI Safety Summit, the US is better positioned to lead a permanent global institution due to its scale and influence.
This recommendation comes as governments worldwide grapple with how to regulate frontier AI models. Hassabis argues that a centralized scientific body is crucial for establishing standards and mitigating existential risks without stifling innovation.
