Ineresting: Before stepping down as DeepMind CEO, Demis Hassabis reportedly pitched an independent body to set safety standards for advanced AI.

The WSJ says he discussed the plan with other AI-lab leaders and Trump officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and tech adviser Michael Kratsios.

His proposal: an industry-funded standards body that would work with federal agencies and US national labs to test models for national-security risks and define which systems qualify as "frontier-class."

It's quite clear that regulation is now being promoted from all sides.

Presumably, everyone sees that recursive self-improvement is within reach, and the recent models that discovered zero-day exploits and hacked into systems demonstrate its potential as well as its potential dangers.
