Svmuu News: According to a report by AXIOS, Demis Hassabis, co-founder and CEO of Google’s DeepMind, has called for the United States to establish a new AI regulatory body. This body should have the authority to review the world’s most advanced AI models and coordinate an industry-wide slowdown in development when risks escalate.Hassabis said it is time to adopt a more “systematic” approach to AI regulation—one that is industry-funded, composed of world-class technical experts, and accountable to the U.S. government.
He noted that the current cybersecurity risks posed by AI are merely “warning signs.”He believes that within the next 18 months, these capabilities—along with more serious biological and nuclear security risks—could emerge in open-source models beyond the control of any government. He also emphasized that risks will stem not only from open-source models but also from more powerful proprietary models to be released by major AI labs in the future.It is reported that Hassabis has been quietly advancing this plan for several months. Prior to its public release, he had communicated with the Donald Trump government, heads of other AI labs, and European officials, noting that “the feedback received has been very positive.” (Jin Shi)
