Collaboration aims at global safety

Chris Lehane of OpenAI confirmed that talks with rivals began weeks ago. The companies are considering a model similar to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority without needing an antitrust waiver.

Industry leaders support the plan

Sam Altman stated that OpenAI would allow third-party evaluators to monitor safety measures. Demis Hassabis originally proposed this self-regulatory group to test powerful systems before public release.

Critics question the arrangement

Some observers worry that such coordination might suppress competition among major firms. Aiden Gomez from Cohere noted that disputes remain over who writes the rules and whose interests they protect.
