OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Anthropic establish a group to supervise the safe development of advanced AI.

In response to rising calls for regulation, AI frontrunners, OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Anthropic have joined forces to create the Frontier Model Forum. This new industry body aims to promote the secure and responsible cultivation of “frontier AI” models, which are sophisticated AI and machine learning models that could pose significant public safety risks. The forum plans to develop technical evaluations, benchmarks, and best practices, while also fostering collaboration with policymakers, academics, and other companies to discuss concerns regarding trust and safety. This move comes as tech giants aim to fend off looming regulation by implementing voluntary initiatives and potentially drafting their own regulations.
