[The kill switch] helps in cases where the government has reason to believe super-intelligent AI, AI that can autonomously compromise national security, is being developed on UK soil. [...] The UK is not truly sovereign on AI if it can't pull the plu... more Unverified source (2026)

There's not one big magic red button that blows up the data centre, which I think some people sort of assume exists. Verified source (2026)

If a government AI kill switch already existed, would the current DOD or current administration have used it, or the threat of it, against Anthropic? Could they use it to coerce AI companies into behaviors that are counter to the public interest? Unverified source (2026)

We did our most in-depth model welfare assessment yet for Claude Mythos Preview. We're still super uncertain about all of this, but as models become more capable and sophisticated we think it's an increasingly important topic for both moral and pragm... more Unverified source (2026)

Large language models can be thought of as advanced role-players. They are really good at adopting roles based on what they've learned from their training data. That can include playing the role of a conscious robot. [...] If you have an emotional co... more Unverified source (2026)

We see consciousness in AI the same way we see faces in clouds. AI Verified source (2026)

Congress has a moral obligation to stand with the American people and stop the expansion of these data centers until we have a framework to adequately address the existential harm AI poses to our society. Unverified source (2026)

I come from the position of saying that moratoriums will not work. But we can work in co-operation with other nations that have already started regulating, such as South Korea and Australia, as well as work with our AI Security Institute in the Unite... more AI Verified source (2026)

Of course AI will absolutely eliminate some tasks and compress some roles, but the claim that AI will produce economy-wide, permanent unemployment is unhelpful marketing, bad economics and worse history. [...] The future is cheaper intelligence, bigg... more AI Verified source (2026)

People have the wrong intuition when they say that if AI can do my job for ten dollars an hour, then my wage falls to ten dollars and my life is terrible. A world where AI can do research or teaching at that cost is a world where AI is extremely capa... more Unverified source (2026)

In recent years, artificial intelligence systems have increasingly taken control of the production of texts, music and videos. This puts much of the human creative industry at risk of being dismantled and replaced with the label 'Powered by AI,' turn... more AI Verified source (2026)

For middle powers, the logic of banding together is undeniably compelling at a time of escalating great power coercion. [...] It would be a distributed or collaborative sovereignty in which AI infrastructure, capabilities, and governance decisionmaki... more AI Verified source (2026)

Middle powers like the UK and Canada will not win the race for ever larger AI models, but through collaboration they can win the deployment race. AI Verified source (2026)

What is happening in Ukraine, in Gaza and the Palestinian territories, in Lebanon and in Iran illustrates the inhuman evolution of the relationship between war and new technologies in a spiral of annihilation. [...] so that it does not absolve humans... more Unverified source (2026)

At first, lethal autonomous weapons systems that cannot guarantee use in conformity with international humanitarian law — that is, systems that are intrinsically indiscriminate; systems whose effects cannot be limited, anticipated and controlled; sys... more AI Verified source (2025)

Personal view: I admire @AnthropicAI sticking by their principles but disagree with the principle itself. Putin won't fight fair so we should have autonomous AI weapons for sure. Unverified source (2026)

I think over time we would need to figure out global frameworks. AI Verified source (2023)

The question that people are debating is whether it makes sense to regulate research and development of AI. And I don't think it does. Unverified source (2023)

Nevertheless, none of these forums can replace the universality of the United Nations in ensuring multilateral, inclusive, and development-oriented international governance of artificial intelligence. AI Verified source (2026)

[This is] a significant overreach of the U.N.'s mandate and competence. We will not cede authority over AI to international bodies that may be influenced by authoritarian regimes seeking to impose their vision of controlled surveillance societies. Unverified source (2026)

The direction of AI is currently determined by a small group of companies [...] We are seeing the construction of an oligarchy that responds solely to its own interests. The governance of artificial intelligence should be in the hands of the people, ... more AI Verified source (2026)

AI incident reporting requirements are emerging in regulation and policy, yet no operational criteria exist for determining when a detected AI incident warrants escalation beyond national handling to international coordination. [...] For escalation t... more AI Verified source (2026)

AI chatbots can be powerful tools for learning, but right now, millions of children are using them with no guardrails and no guarantee of safety. As a mother, I believe it is our obligation to create a future for our children where AI is safe by desi... more AI Verified source (2026)

Competition, innovation, and speech options will be limited as a result of these moves. Unverified source (2026)

I resigned from OpenAI on Monday. The same day, they started testing ads in ChatGPT. OpenAI has the most detailed record of private human thought ever assembled. Can we trust them to resist the tidal forces pushing them to abuse it? Unverified source (2026)

8. Given a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base, almost every problem will be characterized quickly and the fix obvious to someone. Or, less formally, ``Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.'' I dub this: ``Linus's Law''. My origin... more AI Unverifiable source (2000)

Before Adam's suicide, OpenAI knew that lots of people contemplating suicide were talking to ChatGPT. You would have thought that this necessitated stronger, not weaker, guardrails. [...] To encourage engagement, the company made conscious decisions ... more AI Verified source (2026)

At some point we will have super-intelligent machines. But we think that the best way to actually have many possible futures — good futures — is to keep humans in the loop. AI Verified source (2026)

The immediate danger is not that machines will act without human oversight; it is that human overseers have no idea what the machines are actually "thinking." State-of-the-art AI systems are essentially "black boxes." We know the inputs and outputs, ... more Unverified source (2026)

I now see a path to actually avoid loss of control, at least unintended loss of control. With the work that I've been doing, I'm really convinced that there is a path. And it is not something that's going to take a decade; it is something that is ver... more AI Verified source (2026)

The fact that things look aligned most of the time when they're functioning in their chatbot, or very limited 'Assistant' roles, is very little evidence that they will be adequately aligned when they work much more independently and have much greater... more AI Verified source (2026)
