The reporting
A former OpenAI researcher resigned from Anthropic, saying neither Anthropic nor OpenAI is acting responsibly and that people building advanced AI believe it could kill everyone by the end of the decade. OpenAI nonprofit board member Paul Christiano separately said the company is not on track to reduce the risk of “catastrophic” loss of control to an acceptable level. OpenAI policy chief Chris LeHane called for mandatory, capability-based national safety rules. The White House has not released its voluntary frontier-model testing framework, finalized in August.
