Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, has proposed the creation of a U.S.-led regulatory body to vet advanced AI models before their release. The body would be modeled after FINRA, the financial industry's self-regulator, and would assess models for risks such as deception and bioweapons creation. Hassabis aims for this oversight mechanism to be operational by the end of the year, highlighting the potential dangers of unchecked open-source AI development. This move represents a significant step towards structured AI regulation.
