Update
What changedA useful detail now gives Demis Hassabis’s support a little more scaffolding. News AZ, citing Anadolu, reports that the Google DeepMind CEO described Amodei’s proposal as pointing towards the right path, while acknowledging that the details still need work.
Hassabis reportedly connected that direction to DeepMind’s recent call for an industry-wide standards body for frontier AI. That shifts the practical question from whether he supports slowing down to what shared institution might turn the sentiment into rules.
WittyWires has not independently verified the original posts or the proposed body’s design. The next test is whether DeepMind publishes concrete powers, membership and enforcement arrangements. Otherwise, “standards body” risks becoming another handsome committee-shaped noun.
