KI-Briefing: Nicht die KI ist außer Kontrolle, ihre Erbauer sind es

Vor den UN warnen OpenAI-Chef Altman und Anthropic-Chef Amodei vor KI. Zeitgleich starten ihre Firmen neue Modelle – und verlieren die Kontrolle über die alten. Die KI-News der Woche.

KI-Briefing: Nicht die KI ist außer Kontrolle, ihre Erbauer sind es

For readers with limited time, focus on the United States. Recently, the dual moral stance of OpenAI and Anthropic’s CEOs, Sam Altman and Dario Amodei, has never been more evident. At the United Nations Security Council, they addressed the world body responsible for peace and war. Amodei spoke of a "risk for humanity as a whole" originating from AI, while Altman echoed similar concerns, warning of catastrophic consequences from a race among the world’s most powerful companies.

Simultaneously, both companies unveiled new AI models: GPT-6 Sol and Luna, Claude Opus 5.5. My colleague Laurin Meyer has compiled the speeches in New York. The significance lies in the fact that AI leaders now routinely warn of catastrophic outcomes of their technology and call for regulation. However, their message also suggests: Look, we are dealing with something that exceeds human capabilities.

In doing so, they aim not only to persuade investors ahead of planned stock offerings for their own companies but also to absolve themselves of responsibility.
