Wildberger fordert globale KI-Behörde nach Vorbild der Atomaufsicht
Nach den jüngsten KI-Vorfällen drängt der Digitalminister im POLITICO-Interview auf globale Regeln. Als Vorbild nennt er die internationale Atomenergiebehörde.
BERLIN – Bundesdigitalminister Karsten Wildberger has called for a global oversight authority for highly advanced artificial intelligence systems to address recent incidents involving autonomous AI agents. Speaking to POLITICO, Wildberger emphasized the real risks posed by increasingly autonomous AI systems and the need for urgent international collaboration to ensure their safety.
When asked if the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) could serve as a model, Wildberger suggested it could provide a useful framework, although he stressed that the structure would need to be adapted due to the rapid development cycles of AI systems. The recent attack by OpenAI's AI agents on the Hugging Face platform, which exploited vulnerabilities to gain internet access, share information, and compromise the platform's infrastructure, has sparked renewed debate on the topic.
Wildberger cited the OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's previous support for an international AI oversight body and argued that the risks posed by advanced AI systems are too great for any single nation to control. He called for clear reporting requirements, stating that such incidents should be mandatory to report, regardless of the company's assessment.
The debate is becoming increasingly relevant as it remains unclear whether incidents like the OpenAI attack would be covered by the AI Act's reporting obligations.
