Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez is pushing back on proposals for the biggest frontier AI labs to coordinate on safety standards, warning that such an approach could entrench dominant players and amount to a “cartel.” Gomez argues that tougher safeguards, independent testing and greater transparency are needed, but says the rules should be shaped by a broader group of stakeholders rather than companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI alone. He joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”

Altman and Amodei have asked for a international coordination on measures and compliance. The only thing stopping this from happening is Trump who believes that he alone is enough to safeguard AI (I can’t imagine how).

Safety rules should not become a way for the largest labs to decide who gets to participate in the future. Independent testing and meaningful safeguards matter—but so do transparency, public accountability, and a path for smaller builders who are not creating the same level of risk. The question is not whether we need guardrails; it is who gets to design them, and for whose benefit. That’s the question I explore on More Context in “Who Gets to Put the Brakes on AI?”
