Gastkommentar: KI-Spitzenmodelle dürfen nicht zum politischen Druckmittel werden
Ohne die Top-KI-Modelle droht uns der wirtschaftliche Bedeutungsverlust. Wir müssen den Zugang sichern, meinen Monika Schnitzer, Chefin der Wirtschaftsweisen, und Philip Fox von Kira Center.
Recent developments in AI indicate that the technology could reach a transformative level within the decade, with AI systems becoming so powerful that they could determine a significant portion of value creation and national security. For German companies and institutions, access to AI top models, or the most powerful models on the market, would be crucial in such a scenario.
The recent US export restrictions have demonstrated how easily we could lose this access. Currently, top models are central to cybersecurity as they can identify undiscovered vulnerabilities in software. Open models could reach a similar level within a few months, as their freely available nature makes misuse nearly unavoidable.
Only those with access to top models can effectively defend against AI-driven cyberattacks. AI research itself benefits greatly from top models, as having the best AI agents allows researchers to train the next best model faster. Without access to these models, European developers are effectively doomed to fall behind in the race to the top.
