OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reportedly outlined three 'endgame' strategies for AI safety to employees, including an IAEA-style regulatory body, a plan associated with DeepMind's Demis Hassabis, and a scenario where a single firm monopolizes compute resources to enforce standards. These remarks emerge as the US administration prepares its first oversight framework for superintelligence developers, highlighting divergent views on governance among industry leaders.

    • Altman's third proposal involves a single firm 'melting' everyone else's GPUs, implying control via compute monopoly.
    • The first approach advocates for an IAEA-like international body to audit systems and monitor compute/energy usage.
    • Tech giants like Meta and Nvidia oppose such strict regulations, arguing they shield established players from competition.
