Guest commentary: Top AI models must not become a political tool of pressure
Without the top AI models, we risk losing economic significance. We must ensure access, say Monika Schnitzer, head of the Economic Experts, and Philip Fox from the Kira Center.
Trends in AI development suggest that AI could reach a transformative level by the end of the decade. In such a scenario, access to top AI models would be crucial for German companies and institutions, impacting both value creation and national security. The US has recently imposed export restrictions, highlighting the risk of losing access to these models.
Top models are already central to cybersecurity, as they can identify previously unknown software vulnerabilities, and open models may soon reach a similar level. Having access to top models is essential for defending against AI-powered cyberattacks and advancing AI research.
