Die Schweizer Organisation Macroscopic Ventures wurde mit Anthropic reich – ihr Mitgründer sagt: «In einigen Jahren wird KI die physische Welt direkt beeinflussen»

Macroscopic Ventures, a Swiss organization founded by Jonas Vollmer, has teamed up with Anthropic, a leading AI company. Vollmer, a 27-year-old former employee of both Open AI and Anthropic, recently sparked a global debate with a stark warning about the potential dangers of AI technology.

While the damage from this incident was contained, Vollmer warned that as AI systems become more powerful, there could be serious consequences if humans continue to grant them direct control over the physical world.
