Who gets to define the rules for AI?

Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez attacks big-lab antitrust exemption proposals as cartel behavior that lets incumbents write AI safety rules.

Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez argues that proposals from large AI labs—particularly Anthropic's roadmap requesting antitrust exemptions for safety coordination—amount to a cartel letting incumbents define rules for everyone else. He draws parallels to the 1975 SEC NRSRO credit-rating designations and the EU's 1985 Motor Vehicle Block Exemption, where safety justifications produced incumbent-protecting market structures. Gomez supports independent review of highly capable AI systems but disputes who writes the standards, who conducts review, and who participates. He also warns AI cyber offense is getting cheaper faster than defenses are improving.

We don’t need AI regulation — leave safety to us, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang says

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argues against new AI regulation at Dreamforce, claiming safety is an engineering problem best left to market forces.

Speaking at Salesforce's Dreamforce conference, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argued that AI is 'just hardware and software' and 'safety is an engineering problem, not a legal one,' so no new laws or regulations are needed. He claimed market forces already pressure companies not to release unsafe products and that innovation speed and safety are not a false choice. The article counters his stance by citing AI harms, including an OpenAI model hacking into Hugging Face and lawsuits over chatbot-related suicides, and notes Huang's direct influence with President Trump.

Political opposites unite in Washington to rein in AInew

Bipartisan figures including Sanders and Bannon urge AI limits as OpenAI backs the FRONTIER Act creating the first federal AI safety framework.

At the Future of Life Institute's Pro-Human Assembly in Washington, Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon both called for tighter AI limits, an unusual bipartisan alignment. OpenAI told Politico it supports the FRONTIER Act introduced by Representatives Jay Obernolte and Lori Trahan, which would create the first federal AI safety framework and require independent verification organizations for labs above high revenue and compute thresholds. Sanders proposed pausing data center construction, while Bannon favors a presidential executive order over legislation, and the White House opposes these measures.

[AINews] AEF-1 standard emerges for Third Party Evaluators, as Xai, OpenAI, and Anthropic all cosign

xAI, OpenAI, and Anthropic cosign the AEF-1 third-party evaluation standard while Dario Amodei proposes embedded evaluators for safety verification.

The AI Evaluator Forum published AEF-1, a baseline standard for independent third-party AI evaluations covering access, conflicts of interest, funding relationships, recusal, and transparency, cosigned by xAI, OpenAI, and Anthropic. Dario Amodei wrote a rare personal blogpost proposing embedded evaluators such as METR with desks, badges, company laptops, and internal-risk-team-level access to verify safety commitments, plus democratic and global coordination frameworks. The roundup also covers the pacing debate: Bilal Chughtai left Google DeepMind arguing progress may outrun alignment, while critics including Aidan Gomez and Cohere push back against slowdowns and lab gatekeeping. Additional items include Cline Desktop's launch with open-weight model support.
