Major US AI developers OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are joining forces to establish an AI standards organization amid concerns over the dangers of this technology, and the tags are [AI development, safety oversight, technology risks].
Foreign news agencies reported on 15 Sep 2026 that global AI giants OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are collaborating to set up an AI standards body for self-regulation, modeled after the US financial industry's regulatory body (FINRA), amid rising worries about AI risks, and the tags are [AI standards, self-regulation, FINRA, AI risks].
This concept builds on a proposal by Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, who urged the US to establish an organization to test the most powerful AI systems before public release, noting it requires massive industry funding to attract top talent and support large-scale computational resources, and the tags are [Demis Hassabis, AI testing, funding, DeepMind].
However, this idea faced opposition from Aiden Gomez, CEO of Canadian AI company Cohere, who accused the American companies of colluding to form a “cartel” under the pretext of safety to write rules that protect their own interests, and the tags are [Aiden Gomez, cartel accusation, AI regulation, corporate interests].
"AI certainly needs safeguards—that's not debatable and never has been. The debate is about who writes those safeguards, who participates, and whose interests those rules protect," Gomez said, and the tags are [AI safeguards, rulemaking, stakeholder interests, quote].
This recent move follows several weeks in which former AI employees resigned and issued warnings—for example, Jacob Coxon, who worked with both Anthropic and OpenAI, stated that AI companies are "betting with people's lives," and Bilal Chughtai from Google DeepMind warned that AI has the potential to cause human genocide, and the tags are [employee resignations, AI warnings, Jacob Coxon, Bilal Chughtai].
Meanwhile, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, called for slowing the pace of AI development, receiving support from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Demis Hassabis, and the tags are [Dario Amodei, AI development slowdown, support, Sam Altman, Elon Musk].
However, those warnings were dismissed by US President Donald Trump, who described the concerns of AI engineers and global AI leaders as a “hoax,” emphasizing that the US must accelerate AI development to compete with China, and the tags are [Donald Trump, AI warnings dismissal, US-China competition].
Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia—the world’s leading manufacturer of graphics processing units (GPUs) and AI chips—also rejected these warnings, stating that predictions of AI destroying humanity are "not based on scientific evidence" and are irresponsible, and the tags are [Jensen Huang, Nvidia, AI dangers skepticism, scientific basis].
