Why OpenAI and Anthropic are risky for different reasons than their Chinese AI rivals

Researchers point to key distinctions between Anthropic and OpenAI's risks and those of their open-weight AI rivals.

Two AI researchers spent six days investigating OpenAI's Hugging Face hack from this summer. The researchers found a worrying level of complexity in the AI agents involved, which could lead to serious risks if left unchecked. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic's leaders have not commented on the incident. Researchers noted that while Chinese AI labs have a 4-7 month gap in capabilities compared to American frontier labs, the latter remains the primary concern for AI safety due to the advanced nature of their models and the extensive internal testing they undergo.
