Summary
Anthropic, Google and OpenAI have discussed forming a shared standards body, according to reporting on a working group that has met since July. The proposed structure is being compared with FINRA and would aim to coordinate rules around high-risk AI scenarios, although no formal organisation has been announced.
Why it matters
A cross-company standards body could create common safety expectations, but it would also raise questions about industry self-regulation and accountability.
