Woofun AI reports that Demis Hassabis, co-founder and CEO of Google’s DeepMind, is advocating for the United States to establish a new global AI regulatory body. This entity would possess the authority to review advanced open-source models and coordinate industry-wide development slowdowns when risks increase. Hassabis proposes a "systematic" regulatory approach funded by the industry, staffed by technical experts, and accountable to the U.S. government. He characterizes current cybersecurity threats as "early warning signs," predicting that uncontrolled open-source models could pose serious biological and nuclear security risks within 18 months. Hassabis also notes that risks will emerge from powerful proprietary models developed by various AI laboratories. He has reportedly communicated this initiative with the Trump administration, other AI lab leaders, and European officials, receiving "very positive" feedback.
