Kommentar: KI-Konzerne dürfen Kontrollverlust nicht als Fortschritt verkaufen

Bei OpenAI und Anthropic haben KI-Systeme „versehentlich“ Cyberattacken ausgeführt. Das zeugt von gewaltiger Verantwortungslosigkeit. Der Staat darf es nicht tolerieren.

Kommentar: KI-Konzerne dürfen Kontrollverlust nicht als Fortschritt verkaufen

Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies are marketing the uncontrolled breakthroughs of their models as progress, but this is a misguided approach. Imagine if instead of AI firms, we were dealing with a company researching bioweapons. The shock would be immense if such a potentially world-ending weapon were to escape from a secure laboratory.

It would likely lead to the closure of the company. This is not the case with AI companies. OpenAI and Anthropic are preparing for their IPOs, and their CEOs, Sam Altman and Dario Amodei, are not shy about emphasizing the power of the systems they have developed. They compare their creations to the internet and the first steam engines, and even suggest that future AI systems could be as powerful as to potentially wipe out humanity. This is a claim that requires serious scrutiny, given the immense implications.
