AI leaders back self-regulatory body proposal modeled on FINRA

Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, has proposed the creation of a self-regulatory body for AI, modeled after FINRA, which oversees financial firms. This idea has garnered significant support from various tech leaders, including Mustafa Suleyman (Microsoft AI), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), Jack Dorsey (Block), Aaron Levie (Box), Sam Altman (OpenAI), and Elon Musk. The proposed body would focus on developing assessment protocols for frontier AI models, conducting independent safety and security testing, and encouraging AI labs to adopt governance standards. While initially voluntary, the submission of models for testing could become mandatory for distribution in the U.S. The Trump administration is reportedly considering a similar proposal, potentially overseen by the SEC.
