Key Highlights
Origin of the Proposal

Industry Opposition
Since July, Anthropic, Google and OpenAI have held regular discussions on establishing a collaborative artificial intelligence standards organization. The concept originated from Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis, which was inspired by Wall Street's FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) supervision model. OpenAI's Sam Altman supports the initiative but emphasizes that it must operate independently of government intervention. Meta's Mark Zuckerberg and several smaller artificial intelligence companies raised objections. The White House's draft executive order on artificial intelligence regulation has been abandoned due to a lack of sufficient support.Origin of the Proposal
According to The Information, a coalition of leading artificial intelligence companies is working to establish an industry-led standards organization. Anthropic, Google and OpenAI have been in a consistent dialogue since at least this summer. The collaborative group has still been meeting for the past week. These discussions continue outside of potential Trump administration involvement.
The initiative is led by Demis Hassabis, founder of Google DeepMind. In a paper published in July, he outlined a vision for a U.S. -centric standards agency that draws on the model of FINRA, the regulator responsible for overseeing financial markets under the supervision of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Hassabis's framework calls for the establishment of an entity to evaluate cutting-edge artificial intelligence systems before public deployment. The proposed structure will operate as a mixed public-private entity funded by industry participants but run by neutral professional technicians.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei reinforced this direction on Saturday with a paper advocating industry-wide collaboration to develop evaluation and audit protocols. However, these discussions had begun before he made a public statement.
Leadership Views
At a recent employee plenary meeting, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed support for developing an artificial intelligence evaluation and audit organization. He emphasized that leading laboratories need to build this framework independently and not rely on government resources.
Altman admitted that the proposal has not yet gained widespread industry-wide acceptance. He believes that direct cooperation between competitive laboratories is currently the most feasible method.
Jakub Pachoki, chief scientist at OpenAI, revealed that the organization has been in contact with external entities to discuss establishing specific standards and has promised to release more information in the coming months.
Industry Opposition
The proposal encountered resistance. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expressed concerns about national artificial intelligence regulators in a telephone conversation with President Trump in August.
A preliminary White House executive order to establish such an agency has stalled. The proposal was ultimately dropped after failing to secure sufficient internal administrative support before the end of the summer.
House Speaker Mike Johnson pointed to a lack of consensus within the industry on regulatory standards. "There is no consensus between them," he told CNN.
Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez expressed dissatisfaction with the proposal on Platform X, warning that allowing dominant artificial intelligence companies to set rules could put emerging competitors at a disadvantage. "Great idea from the cartel," he wrote.
Google, OpenAI and Anthropic either declined to provide comments or did not respond to CNN's inquiries.
