Anthropic and OpenAI executives call for regulation and safety testing of advanced AI models

The chief executives of Anthropic and OpenAI warned that cutting-edge artificial intelligence systems are powerful enough to endanger humanity and require independent testing and regulation.

Experts suggest the public warnings help the companies shape safety protocols and court public favor ahead of upcoming corporate stock listings on Wall Street.

While tech leaders press for existential risk oversight, critics note that pressing issues such as data center environmental impacts, hacking incidents, and military AI applications remain sidelined.
