Should AI Labs Test Each Other's Models?

Elon Musk says AI labs should test a rival's new model a week before it is released. Walter Isaacson asked whether the five frontier models, Musk's and the others, could get together once a week and ask how they are going to save humanity from themselves. Musk says he has already recommended that exact thing.

He told the other labs they should have a call once a week. A week before release, a lab would give competitors access and ask them to try the new model and see if they find any problems. Musk says competitors would keep each other honest in that situation. If someone says they were able to make a nuclear bomb with the AI, the lab would fix that before release.

Musk sets the idea against a regulatory agency. There is a lot of talk of having one, but it takes a long time to get a regulatory agency established, and rulemaking is very slow.
