AI leaders sound alarm over growing risks

Well, and this was a big topic over the weekend. Leading voices in artificial intelligence are now ringing the alarm on the speed of development and the need for additional safety measures. This comes as Anthropic's CEO released an essay warning of risks that if safeguards don't keep up with technology, there could be problems. Fox9's Soyoung Kim joining us with more on this issue. And Soyoung, major players in the industry agreed with this need to slow down AI development. Kelsey, that's right. And the essay points to a recent open AI incident where an AI system hacked a target on its own without being asked to. Plus, Anthropic says it was made aware of a threat report that bad actors could have used its AI models to potentially build biological weapons. We're leading China in AI. We're the most sophisticated country in the world. And frankly, I want to keep it that way because whoever wins AI wins. And we can put guardrails, we can do this and that. President Donald Trump responding to concerns raised by artificial intelligence industry leaders Sunday. This stems from Anthropic CEO Dario Amadei's essay where he warns about the risks of losing control of AI systems, pointing to recent examples where that's happened. Other industry leaders, including open AI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk, agreed publicly with We turn to Manjeet Regge, a University of St. Thomas professor and author of a book on ethics and governance AI. He says AI has great potential benefits, but also serious risks when development outpaces proper safeguards. It is a societal responsibility to make sure that the models that are being developed are being used for the overall good. And right now, that is not being the case. As this ethics debate takes center stage, an environmental impact debate has already been happening across Minnesota around data centers powering this technology. Just days ago, a data center developer scrapped its plans to move into the former Star Tribune printing facility in Minneapolis. An exact reason why is still unclear at this time. And experts say when it comes to addressing potential dangers of AI, global alignment is necessary. We can do all we want as far as regulation is concerned here in the U.S., but what about the rest of the world? So there has to be a global effort as well. And Amadei proposed an oversight plan, including external third-party evaluators when training and running AI models. Kelsey. All right. Thank you so young.
