Or should pre-release safety testing be legally mandatory?</li>\n<li>Do firms accept mandatory reporting of serious safety incidents, including deceptive behaviour, safeguards being circumvented, unauthorised replication and evidence that human control may be failing?</li>\n<li>What prevents competition between companies - or between countries - from producing a race to the bottom in safety? Which common international requirements should be mandatory?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The Committee has also invited the UK Government&rsquo;s AI Security Institute to appear.</p>\n<p>Further details will be published in due course.</p>\n<h2>Further information</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https://www.parliament.uk/about/how/committees/select/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">About Parliament: Select committees</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://www.parliament.uk/visiting/visiting-and-tours/watch-committees-and-debates/committees/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visiting Parliament: Watch committees</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/365/business-and-trade-committee/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Business Innovation, Science and Trade Committee</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Image: House of Commons</p>","datePublished":"2026-09-22T08:13:20+00:00","imageUrl":"https://www.parliament.uk/contentassets/12aad6b70aaf44e18300d5d2cf8c86d2/230816_elspeth-keep_portcullis-house_wilson-room_cos02468.jpg","imageAltText":"","thumbnailUrl":"https://www.parliament.uk/contentassets/12aad6b70aaf44e18300d5d2cf8c86d2/230816_elspeth-keep_portcullis-house_wilson-room_cos02468.jpg?width=300&height=300&mode=crop","url":"https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/365/business-innovation-science-and-trade-committee/news/217956/meta-google-openai-and-anthropic-invited-to-appear-before-business-committee-amid-growing-ai-safety-concerns/","id":217956}}
