Google, OpenAI and Anthropic AI Safety Group Takes Shape

Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic are developing a self-regulatory standards body called the Standards Authority for Frontier AI. Aiming for a launch by late 2024 or early 2027, the group operates without government oversight. Sriram Krishnan, a former venture capitalist and AI policy adviser, has been approached for the CEO role. While focusing on safety, critics suggest this independent body could centralize power, potentially disadvantaging smaller firms and accelerating consolidation within the AI industry.
