Covering the recent round of AI apocalypse warnings, I’ve tried to reject this cult-like deference toward all-powerful computer systems and the inevitability rhetoric: If Silicon Valley doesn’t build them first, someone else — likely China — will.
Yet a recent spate of incidents in the US has spurred a fresh, heated debate on the safety of allowing AI systems to act on their own. A growing number of researchers inside the companies involved are also warning of “existential” dangers, with Anthropic PBC even flagging such concerns to investors in its initial public offering prospectus. For China, the risks of near-term hazards like labor market threats or the more alarming Sci-Fi scenarios such as hacks on critical infrastructure are making it harder to write off the furor as a distinctly American obsession.
