Exclusive: Google's Hassabis calls for U.S.-led global AI watchdog

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis proposes a US-led global AI watchdog to systematically screen advanced models. In his manifesto, the Nobel laureate suggests this industry-funded body, staffed by technical experts, should have the power to coordinate an industry-wide slowdown if dangers increase. Hassabis views current AI-driven cyber risks as warning shots. However, some suggest such a centralized authority could potentially stifle innovation and create disadvantages for smaller players within the competitive AI industry.
