Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis backs mandatory AI preflight safety testing

Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, has publicly endorsed a system of preflight safety testing for advanced AI models. This proposal, which Hassabis detailed in an essay, suggests that frontier AI labs would voluntarily submit models for review up to 30 days before release. The goal is to establish a robust assessment protocol, potentially leading to mandatory testing for deployment in the US market and addressing post-release vulnerabilities. This endorsement aligns with calls for independent, transparent AI safety evaluations, such as those previously advocated by Gary Marcus. AI

IMPACT This endorsement could accelerate the adoption of mandatory safety testing for advanced AI models, influencing regulatory approaches globally.
