Demis Hassabis lobbies Washington for AI vetting proposal amid global policy shifts

Demis Hassabis, CEO of DeepMind, is preparing to lobby Washington policymakers to support a proposal for a group to vet AI models. This initiative, developed over months with input from AI leaders like Dario Amodei, aims to establish a framework for AI safety and oversight. The proposal emerges as China publicly endorses open-source AI models and Moonshot AI releases a new capable model, while figures like David Sacks criticize regulatory approaches. AI

IMPACT This initiative could shape future AI development and deployment policies globally, influencing how new models are assessed and regulated.
