U.S. lawmakers call for new AI rules after Anthropic researcher’s safety warning
The call comes as an Anthropic researcher raised concerns about OpenAI and Anthropic racing toward AI advancements without acting responsibly.
U.S. lawmakers have urged the creation of new regulations to oversee artificial intelligence following a researcher's public warning about the technology's potential to surpass human control. This response was more significant than previous statements from staff at OpenAI and Anthropic regarding safety concerns, eliciting input from legislators who are typically less involved in AI governance debates.
The lawmakers' remarks emerged in response to warnings issued this week by Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, who accused his employers of hastening AI development without adequate consideration for responsible practices. Coxon announced his departure from the AI sector, and his allegations gained widespread attention on social media, with Anthropic scientist Evan Hubinger later endorsing Coxon's claims.
