The Google, OpenAI and Anthropic AI safety body is starting to take shape, with a tentative name of the Standards Authority for Frontier AI and hopes to launch by the end of the year or early next. W/ @steph_palazzolo Lots of details here including: - Former White House AI adviser Sriram Krishnan was approached for CEO, and David Friedberg and Condoleezza Rice considered for chair - There's an active debate over whether the body should conduct testing itself, amid concerns about lack of resources for CAISI - After the effort for a FINRA-like body lost steam in the White House, SAFA would proceed independently at first, with optimism for a public-private partnership in the future - SAFA could work together with a previous industry consortium, the Frontier Model Forum - There's widespread industry skepticism about the project from outside the three AI labs You can read all about it here:
