OpenAI is working with Anthropic, Google on AI safety, Bloomberg News reports
September 15 - OpenAI is reportedly collaborating with Anthropic and Google's DeepMind on AI safety, according to Bloomberg News. Global concerns about AI's potential existential risks have surged recently, following a recent meeting where the heads of America's leading AI companies pledged unity and called for a pause in the technology's development.
Chris Lehane, OpenAI's global policy chief, stated that the company had been in discussions with Anthropic and Google for several weeks, and did not believe the three firms needed an antitrust waiver to coordinate on safety matters, as reported by Bloomberg News. Lehane emphasized at a Washington briefing that OpenAI would support any bipartisan legislation aimed at mitigating catastrophic AI risks.
OpenAI, Google and Anthropic have not yet responded to Reuters requests for comment. The report could not be independently verified by Reuters.
