Do Companies Want More Regulation?

Huh, it's usually the other way around. The CEO of Anthropic believes that the race to develop AI urgently needs to be slowed down and is calling for more regulation. And he’s even getting support from OpenAI CEO Altman and Big Tech entrepreneur Musk. These statements came after Jacob Coxon, a former employee of the AI companies OpenAI and Anthropic, predicted that AI could wipe out humanity.

There is talk that AI systems could take over the entire internet within six to twelve months. That could cause billions in damages. Until now, the Trump administration had opposed any regulation of AI development, and now the CEOs of AI companies themselves are calling for more oversight.

However, the Trump administration stands alone on this issue, as, for example, independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont wants to completely ban the development of superintelligence. Even before these warnings gained traction, he had already invited all members of the U.S. Senate to a private, bipartisan meeting next week to discuss the extraordinary risks of artificial intelligence, according to tagesschau.de.

The warnings have another consequence: Due to current security concerns, OpenAI plans to postpone its planned initial public offering. Anthropic, on the other hand, still plans to begin marketing its IPO in mid-October, but before the midterms in early November. Was all of this just a show to push stock prices in one direction or another?

In any case, the development of AI must take place under strict oversight and solely in the interest of people — especially the employees at the affected companies. And these people must also share in the profits generated by the use of AI.
