The White House, Congress and the country's leading AI companies have allowed AI to grow faster, stronger, more powerful and wildly lucrative (and dangerous), with no serious effort to control it or spread the benefits beyond the super-wealthy. - It's not too late to change this. But if they all dither, duck or dance around it, the chances of AI worst-case scenarios will explode, likely early next year, according to almost every person we talk to privately who truly understands AI. Why it matters: The technology is getting better, faster than anyone envisioned — with the possibility rising that AI will self-improve and do wildly unpredictable things. - The good news: There's now a growing public cry for attention and action and, at…

The AI safety debate exploded this week over warnings that the technology could one day destroy humanity. - Anthropic's latest threat report offers a more immediate wake-up call: Today's models are already helping U.S. adversaries develop kamikaze drones, hunt dissidents and conduct dangerous virus research . Why it matters: AI is tearing down barriers that have long constrained the world's most dangerous actors. A handful of people can now mount operations that once required legions of spies, engineers or hackers. Driving the news: Anthropic — the safety-focused lab behind Claude — says it spent the past eight months tracking and disrupting attempts to misuse its models. Among the most alarming cases it uncovered: 1. An…
