A spokesperson said the dialogue has been active since July, when Demis Hassabis, who chairs Google DeepMind, put forward a U.S.-led "Standards Body." In an essay on X, he outlined setting up either a public private partnership or a self-regulatory group with federal oversight, similar to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
