Google, Microsoft Offer Measly $10 Million to Protect the World from AI

Companies including OpenAI and Anthropic are pushing the Frontier Model Forum as the new watchdog for AI safety.

A few of the biggest companies pushing AI, including the legacy Silicon Valley giants Google and Microsoft alongside new blood OpenAI and Anthropic, are coming together to push their own industry body as the main bastion of AI safety. These multi-billion dollar companies’ first boon to the fledgling AI forum is a new director and a paltry $10 million to somehow steward the entire world on ethical AI.

The fund still has to create an advisory board that will have “a range of perspectives and expertise,” though it isn’t clear how many full AI skeptics will be involved who can offer a counterpoint to the fund’s cautious yet glowing attitude toward new AI development. Both Google and Microsoft have been trying to emphasize how they’re already working to minimize AI risks, all while pushing generative AI as far as it can go by implementing it into practically all their new user-end products.
