OpenAI, Google and Anthropic to launch AI safety organisation by early 2027: Report
OpenAI, Anthropic and Google may launch a self-regulatory organisation, the Standards Authority for Frontier AI (SAFA), early next year.
Amid the heated debate on the risks of artificial intelligence, OpenAI, Anthropic and Google are reportedly planning to collaborate on an AI safety organisation. The AI giants may launch the venture in early 2027, as per The Information. The self-regulatory organisation has been tentatively named the Standards Authority for Frontier AI (SAFA). The plan comes weeks after an ex-Anthropic researcher, Jacob Coxon, raised an alarm about AI firms, claiming that neither the Claude maker nor OpenAI was “acting responsibly.”

Later on, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged AI labs to slow the development of their most advanced models, a move that was lauded by Altman, SpaceX chief Elon Musk, and other tech supremos. What would the organisation do?
SAFA would reportedly focus on tasks such as “supporting third-party organisations that conduct testing of models before they’re deployed and laying out how AI developers should report safety and security incidents,” as per The Information. The organisation would also establish qualifications for independent auditors to evaluate AI labs and models.
Members of the SAFA working group are in talks to figure out if the organisation should conduct safety and capability testing alongside the Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI), Stocktwits reported.
