## Summary

Three major AI companies—Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI—are quietly forming a standards body to oversee the development of advanced artificial intelligence. The initiative was proposed by Google DeepMind’s founder Demis Hassabis, who modeled it after FINRA, the Wall Street regulator. This new entity aims to review and approve AI models before they are released into the market. The plan has support from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman but faces resistance from competitors like Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, who fears a government-backed body could favor large companies over smaller ones. Despite initial enthusiasm, the White House draft executive order for an AI regulator was shelved due to lack of support among industry players.

## Key points

- Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI are forming a self-regulatory body
- Inspired by Wall Street’s FINRA, it aims to review AI models before release
- Meta's Mark Zuckerberg opposes the plan

## Why it matters

This initiative could reshape how AI is developed and regulated, potentially impacting the entire industry.
