China Responds to Calls by AI Leaders to Slow Technology Development
China has responded to calls from AI leaders including Dario Amodei, Sam Altman and Elon Musk to slow advanced AI development over safety risks.
China has responded to calls from prominent AI figures like Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk to slow down the development of artificial intelligence technology. The Chinese government emphasized the importance of AI for humanity and the need for collaboration to ensure open and inclusive AI development. AI expert Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry, stated that fear-mongering and unhealthy competition will only hinder global AI governance.
Anthropic CEO Amodei proposed a three-step plan to manage AI development, including stricter safety testing, independent evaluations of advanced AI models, coordination among leading AI companies, and enhanced international cooperation. Musk, also a supporter of Amodei's perspective, warned that AI poses a greater danger than nuclear weapons.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman echoed Amodei's concerns, indicating that OpenAI will adopt Anthropic's safety measures and delay its IPO to address safety issues. Meanwhile, China is seen as a primary competitor to the US and has formed the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization (WAICO) to establish a global AI governance framework.
