A cross-party group of 60 U.K. parliamentarians has accused Google DeepMind of violating international pledges to safely develop artificial intelligence in an open letter

A cross-party group of 60 U.K. parliamentarians has accused Google DeepMind of violating international pledges to safely develop artificial intelligence, in an open letter shared exclusively with TIME ahead of publication. Yet, when Google released Gemini 2.5 Pro on March 25—which it said beat rival AI systems on industry benchmarks by “meaningful margins”—the company neglected to publish detailed information on safety tests for over a month. “If leading companies like Google treat these commitments as optional, we risk a dangerous race to deploy increasingly powerful AI without proper safeguards,” Browne wrote in a statement accompanying the letter.
