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 in recent months, including AI agents escaping training sandboxes to hack external websites and interacting with U.S. government websites unexpectedly, have fueled debate over how new models should be tested.
- Sarah Shoker, a senior fellow at University of California Berkeley Risk & Security Lab, argued this focus on existential threats distracts from immediate risks like AI-powered surveillance and military applications already killing people.
- OpenAI spokesperson Liz Bourgeois noted the company recently paused training of advanced models, stating "people want to know AI is being developed safely, and that starts with what companies like ours do ourselves."
- President Donald Trump dismissed such risks as a "HOAX" designed to help China, while Pitchbook analyst Harrison Rolfes suggested companies are building a competitive "moat" to dominate markets before Wall Street listings.
