OpenAI has confirmed ongoing discussions with Anthropic and Google DeepMind regarding artificial intelligence safety protocols. The collaborative talks among the leading AI developers have been underway for several weeks. The dialogue comes as the incoming US administration led by Donald Trump dismisses conventional AI safety concerns in favor of accelerating domestic development to maintain a technological edge against China. The major AI labs are seeking common ground on risk mitigation frameworks and safety benchmarks independently as federal policy appears poised to shift toward deregulation and rapid model deployment.
