Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez argues against allowing a small number of Silicon Valley AI companies to define safety standards and rules for the entire world, criticizing a recent proposal by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei that requests antitrust exemptions for coordinated safety standards. Gomez draws parallels to historical examples of regulatory capture and calls for broader participation in setting AI governance.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://cohere.com/blog/who-gets-to-define-the-rules-for-ai:

> should a handful of select, market-dominant AI companies from Silicon Valley get to define the rules and safety standards of a generational technology for the entire world?
