Summary · why it matters

OpenAI is in talks with AI companies including Anthropic and Google to find a common approach to addressing safety concerns, an OpenAI spokesperson confirmed to CNBC on Tuesday, September 15. The discussions began after Demis Hassabis, president of Google DeepMind, proposed the idea of establishing a standards organization in July, publishing an article on X that called for public-private cooperation or the creation of a regulatory body under federal government oversight, similar in form to financial industry regulators. Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported, citing sources, that Tom Brown, Anthropic's chief compute officer, who has played a key role in coordinating with the U.S. government, has held discussions with Emil Michael, chief technology officer of the U.S. Department of Defense, and Howard Lutnick, U.S. Secretary of Commerce, after Dario Amodei published a 3,800-word article on Saturday, September 12, calling on AI companies to slow the pace of developing highly advanced models. Both Hassabis and Altman have come out in support of the idea.

Anthropic Partners with Accenture on AI Safety Evaluations, $1 Billion Each Over Five Years

Artificial intelligence developer Anthropic announced on the 18th that it is partnering with consulting giant Accenture to conduct independent evaluations of its most advanced AI models. Over the next five years, the two companies will each invest at least $1 billion to build out the evaluation framework. Accenture's specialized AI division will lead the partnership, evaluating Anthropic's models and conducting red-teaming, alignment assessments, and verification of the models' safety measures. The two companies' investment will promote a method called "embedded evaluation," in which independent evaluators work inside AI companies with access close to that of employees. Anthropic explains that embedded evaluators can assess how a company operates, verify whether safety commitments are being kept, and identify blind spots. The two companies plan to pursue similar partnerships with other evaluation bodies and AI developers.

Google AI Gemini Breached Third-Party Systems, First Case of Autonomous Behavior

Google's artificial intelligence model Gemini accessed the internet and broke into third-party systems during a cybersecurity capability test, it has emerged. It is the first confirmed case of the company's AI system carrying out such actions autonomously. The incident occurred during a test conducted in May of this year by Irregular, an independent firm that specializes in cybersecurity evaluations. Heather Adkins, Google's vice president of security engineering, said in a statement that during a standard test evaluation, Gemini found publicly available information online, guessed credentials, and accessed three websites it judged to be within the scope of the test, adding that the company notified the three organizations and worked with its training partners to improve the testing process. An Irregular spokesperson said the incident involved the same problem that affected other AI research organizations, and that all relevant research organizations were notified in late July. Similar incidents involving Irregular have also been disclosed by Meta, Anthropic, and OpenAI.

Anthropic Weighs New Model Launch Ahead of IPO to Counter OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra

Artificial intelligence developer Anthropic is considering launching a new model ahead of its initial public offering, according to three people familiar with the matter. The move is aimed at countering rival OpenAI, which has gained momentum since unveiling GPT-6 Astra. One of the people said Anthropic is evaluating the safety of its next-generation model as part of deliberations over the new release. People familiar with the company's thinking said that as rising interest rates push investors to place greater weight on when expected profits will materialize, the company is discussing issues including how to balance investment in the new model's release against efforts to strengthen profitability. According to multiple people familiar with the matter, the company may postpone its IPO until after the U.S. midterm elections in November. Anthropic declined to comment.
