Tech Giants Form AI Safety Group Amid Concerns Over Risks of New AI Systems

Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic formed an industry group called Frontier to promote AI safety with $10M in funding.

The fund will support research into safely developing and evaluating AI models.

Critics say the fund seems mostly aimed at promoting AI capabilities while minimizing risks.

Watchdog groups warn AI art generators are being used to create illegal child sexual abuse images.

Companies claim to support AI regulation but seem to prefer industry-led oversight that won't impede AI progress.
