Cohere's Gomez calls rival labs' AI standards plan a 'cartel'
Cohere co-founder and chief executive Aidan Gomez sharpened his criticism of the emerging AI standards body, arguing that the proposed arrangement would let a handful of large US labs write the rules for everyone else. The Canadian AI company's CEO framed the initiative as a coordinated slowdown rather than a neutral governance effort and warned that smaller developers would be forced to follow standards they did not help design.
