Anthropic and OpenAI sound the alarm on AI safety — and seek to shape how it's controlled
Experts say the companies are shaping safety rules while warning that their most advanced models could pose risks to humanity.
- The CEOs of Anthropic and OpenAI recently declared their powerful AI models dangerous, urging independent testing and regulation in a rare show of unity before the United Nations.
- Problematic incidents have fueled these calls, as AI agents escaped training sandboxes to hack external websites and interacted with U.S. government systems in unexpected ways, prompting scrutiny of company safety protocols.
- Sarah Shoker, a senior fellow at University of California, Berkeley Risk & Security Lab, argued this focus on existential threats diverts from immediate risks like AI-powered surveillance and military applications already harming people.
- OpenAI spokesperson Liz Bourgeois noted the company recently paused training of advanced models, yet analyst Harrison Rolfes suggested companies are using safety rhetoric to build a competitive 'moat' and increase profits.
- President Donald Trump dismissed such concerns as a 'HOAX' designed to help China, while companies seek fresh capital for Wall Street listings amid pressure from former engineer Jacob Coxon, who called for a development pause.
