Artificial intelligence between safety and monopoly: How is China managing this competition?

Artificial intelligence is no longer a purely technical matter focused solely on innovation and efficiency, but has become a field where the integrity of advanced models intersects with the monopoly of computing, chips, and data, and with the struggle for influence between major powers.

Chinese press coverage reveals that the debate over slowing down the development of advanced models is inseparable from a larger geopolitical question about the role of setting controls in preventing the loss of human control over artificial intelligence, and whether the real goal is to slow down competitors and protect the supremacy of dominant companies and countries. acceleration of artificial intelligence models, on the grounds that the risks associated with them have become "serious" and that preventive measures are not keeping pace with technological progress quickly enough.

Amoudi proposed the creation of independent external assessment teams, with access powers similar to those of company employees, to verify compliance with safety standards, evaluate models and their training procedures, and report on security incidents. The UK Government is hosting the AI ​​Safety Summit bringing together international governments, leading AI companies, civil society groups and experts in research to consider the risks of AI, especially at the frontier of development, and discuss how they can be mitigated through internationally coordinated action. 

This proposal was endorsed by Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and Elon Musk, founder of XAI. According to the agreement among three of the industry's leading figures suggests that fears surrounding artificial intelligence have moved from the margins of discussion to the forefront of industry concerns.

These concerns were further reinforced by Jacob Cookson, a former researcher at Anthropic, who spoke of a deep concern among some workers that the models could evolve to levels that would be difficult for humans to control.
