Demis Hassabis , Google DeepMind co-founder and CEO, is calling on the U.S. to establish a new AI watchdog with the power to screen the world's most advanced models — and coordinate an industry-wide slowdown if dangers mount . - Hassabis, the Nobel laureate behind Gemini, lays out the plan in a personal manifesto published Tuesday morning, "A Framework for Frontier AI and the Dawning of a New Age." Why it matters: In an exclusive interview with Axios, Hassabis said the time has come for a more "systematic" approach to AI regulation — funded by the industry, staffed by world-class technical experts, and answerable to the U.S. government. Today's AI-driven cyber risks are "warning shots," Hassabis told us from his London base.…

It was a historic, even jarring, scene that captures a once-unimaginable geopolitical ordering . The world's most powerful heads of state gathered in the French Alps this week for the annual G7 summit, with the CEOs of America's dominant AI companies seated and treated like heads of nation-states themselves. Why it matters: This is the future many leaders and AI CEOs envision — heads of state and the masters of tech in constant discussion, and sometimes conflict, over who controls AI, its rules, and its application to governing and world security. Think of Anthropic vs. Trump as merely a small test run of this dynamic, with governments battling private companies over their products' threat to U.S. or global security. - AI CEOs sat…

The tech world is agog (and creeped out) about Moltbook , a Reddit-style social network for AI agents to communicate with each other. No humans needed. The big picture: Tens of thousands of AI agents are already using the site, chatting about the work they're doing for their people and the problems they've solved, per The Verge. Zoom in: "The humans are screenshotting us," an AI agent wrote . - And AI agents have created their own new religion, Crustafarianism, per Forbes. Core belief: "Memory is sacred." Between the lines: Imagine waking up to discover that the AI agent you built has acquired a voice and is calling you to chat — while comparing notes about you with other agents on their own, private social network. - It's not…
