Kathmandu. Anthropic, a U.S. artificial intelligence company, has suggested a global ban on the development of the most powerful AI systems. The company has warned in a report that such a step is necessary because there are signs that the latest AI models may be spinning beyond human control.
According to the company, which is the maker of the ‘Claude’ model, it would be better to slow down the pace of AI development globally in order to keep social structure and security research together with the development of technology.TAG_OPEN_p_8 However, Anthropic has insisted that the top AI companies in major countries such as the United States and China should be stopped at the same time and monitored fairly, as only one company will outpace competitors.
Some White House officials and Silicon TAG_OPEN_p_7 Valley officials disagreed with the proposal. They say that halting AI development risks giving China a strategic advantage in the most important technology of this century. However, US President Donald Trump has said that during his recent visit to Beijing, he discussed the possibility of working with China on AI security. Trump also signed an executive order this week authorizing the government to conduct a 30-day initial review of powerful AI models before they are released.
Anthropic likened this challenge of AI development to a nuclear arms control treaty. According to the company, AI itself is accelerating its development, so that in the future, AI itself may become smarter without the help of humans. “The statistics show that the role of humans in every process of AI development is shrinking,” the report said. Anthropic plans to bring together government officials, scientists and competing companies in the coming months to discuss how to manage the system.
