Sam Altman has publicly talked about wanting more regulation. Demis Hassabis stated that AI safety was one of the _motivations_ for founding DeepMind. I don't think any of the industry noise around safety and regulation is new, I think the timing of the petition is relevant _because_ the race has started in an especially messy way (with Llama's weights leaking, Bing/Sydney threatening a journalist based on tweets it found on the internet, various OpenAI security mishaps, etc).
