Woofun AI reports that Google DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis predicts artificial general intelligence could emerge within a few years, with impact ten times that of the Industrial Revolution. He emphasizes the need for robust security protections as risks in cybersecurity, nuclear energy, and biology grow.

Hassabis calls for the United States to establish a "Frontier AI Standards Agency" modeled after FINRA. This body would operate under a public-private partnership, funded by industry contributions and managed by independent experts. It aims to develop dynamic assessment protocols, starting with voluntary 30-day pre-release reviews for frontier labs before transitioning to mandatory testing, while exempting non-frontier models.
