OpenAI, Anthropic, Google have been in talks on AI safety for weeks
OpenAI, Anthropic and Google DeepMind have held weeks of AI safety talks covering third-party evaluators and a possible industry standards body.
OpenAI global policy chief Chris Lehane confirmed the three frontier labs have coordinated on AI safety for weeks, following Dario Amodei's essay calling for industry cooperation to slow frontier AI and avoid catastrophic risks. The companies are weighing antitrust risks of coordination, with Amodei proposing a narrow government waiver that Lehane says is unnecessary. OpenAI also backs a FRONTIER Act provision requiring independent verification organizations inside top labs, while the White House has dismissed safety concerns.
