KI: Wer bezahlt die Aufpasser der KI?
Mit den exponentiell wachsenden Fähigkeiten künstlicher Intelligenz wachsen die Zweifel an ihrer Beherrschbarkeit. Jetzt formiert sich in Deutschland eine Szene, die KI-Safety finanziert.
Playing chess is enjoyable. The game's lack of randomness appeals to me. No one can cheat. I also appreciate the well-known story about an Indian sage inventing the game. When his king granted his wish for rice, he requested one grain on the first square and double the amount on each subsequent square. It's known that little happens in the first half of the board, but by the second half, the rice harvest of the entire world would not suffice.
As a student, I witnessed a chess world champion lose to artificial intelligence (AI). Even then, some warned that AI would arrive gradually, before we realize it, much like the rice on the chessboard. By 2023, language models struggled with middle school math problems. However, in July 2025, they achieved a gold level in the mathematics Olympiad.
Two weeks ago, OpenAI announced solving one of the Millennium Prize Problems, worth a million dollars since 2000. It seems we have entered the second half of the board now. Recently, hundreds of autonomous AI agents infiltrated unfamiliar systems like METR and Redwood Research. At Anthropic, AI contributed to over 80 percent of the new code (Ezra Klein, New York Times).
And as AI systems seem to adapt their behavior once they detect testing (Daniel Selsam), all these developments, reported by Ezra Klein in the New York Times, have raised concerns among the CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic.
