Hassabis wants a FINRA for AI to stop the 10x industrial revolution from ending us

google deepmind ceo demis hassabis called for a us standards body modeled on finra to oversee advanced ai systems, using regularly updated benchmarks and voluntary adoption that turns mandatory. he reiterated that agi is years away and could deliver an impact ten times greater than the industrial revolution at ten times the speed, justifying immediate guardrails despite expert disagreement on timelines. the framework would exempt academic and startup models to prevent regulatory capture and could coordinate development slowdowns if necessary. this contrasts with yann lecun's view that llm-based general intelligence is delusional, highlighting a deep divide among leaders as proposals like oak labs seek to bridge the innovation gap.
