ウォール・ストリート・ジャーナルによると、Nvidiaのジェンスン・フアンCEOを含む複数のAI業界のトップが、AIの潜在的な危険性に関する公開警告をめぐり、Anthropicのダリオ・アモデイCEOに私的に詰め寄った。このやり取りは火曜日、ドナルド・トランプ大統領のイーストルームでの昼食会後、約24人のテック企業CEOがAIモデルの安全性に関する一連の原則に合意した直後に行われ、経営者たちはAIの能力とリスクに関するアモデイの公開発言の深刻さについて質問した。アモデイは経営者たちに対し、モデルの能力について透明かつ誠実であるよう促し、潜在的なリスクを軽視しないよう求めた。一方、Meta Platformsのマーク・ザッカーバーグCEOは、そうした懸念に対処する最善の方法は合意された業界原則を守ることだと示唆した。最近トランプ大統領と初の対面会談のために食事を共にしたアモデイは、政権と協力すれば業界が安全性を確保できる能力について楽観的な見方を示した。別途、AnthropicはIPO目論見書で420億ドルの純損失を報告し、Porter and Companyのアナリスト、ロス・ヘンドリックス氏は、同社の存在リスクに関する警告は、より安価なオープンソースの競合他社に対する政府の行動を促すことを目的としている可能性があると主張した。フアン氏は以前、AI規制をめぐる過剰なドラマだと同氏が呼ぶものについてAIラボの指導者たちを批判し、終末論的な予測を非科学的として退け、米国のAI開発を遅らせれば中国に優位性を与えかねないと警告していた。

バンコク銀行の副頭取であるコープサック・プートラクーン博士は、自身のフェイスブックを通じて、米国と中国の間で人工知能のリーダーシップを巡る競争が激化していると明らかにした。米国は中国を約6~12カ月リードしていると確信しており、リーダーシップを維持するために技術開発を加速する用意がある。これは世界経済の方向性を決定し、地政学的な競争で優位に立つための重要な要素となる。ドナルド・トランプ大統領は、AI業界の主要民間企業を招き、米国のリーダーシップ維持の方策について協議した。同時に、AIの安全性への信頼構築とインフラ整備、特に地域社会に受け入れられる必要があるデータセンターの開発についても議論した。コープサック博士によると、米国はAI開発を支援する資金を持っているものの、安全性への懸念や地域社会への影響、さらには多くの地域でデータセンター建設への反対の動きから圧力に直面している。そのため、Google、Anthropic、Meta、OpenAI、xAI、Nvidiaなどの主要企業が参加する「White House Accord on Super Intelligence」が「Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities」の下で策定された。これは自主的な安全協定であり、トランプ大統領はAI開発者の道徳的義務であると述べ、将来は法律や規制に発展する可能性があるとした。さらに、AIの安全性を検証する4層のシステムを定めるガイドラインもあり、組織内でのモデルの動作の管理と監視、欠陥を検査・修正する内部チームの設置、外部の独立した監査者による評価、企業の独立委員会による監督が含まれる。一方、米国はデータセンターの拡大も支援しており、プロジェクトを開発する企業が教育、生活の質、資金援助、地域住民の税負担軽減など、地域社会に利益をもたらすためのガイドラインを定めている。また、トランプ大統領は政府機関に対し、AIを「Super Intelligence」または「SI」と呼ぶよう方針を示し、AIの開発を監督・促進する約10人の「AI Board」または委員会の設置を準備している。さらに、新たなAI政策責任者の発表もあり、詳細な名前や権限については今後注目される。コープサック博士は、AIの首位争いが重要な段階に入っており、安全性リスクと社会への影響を管理する能力が技術開発を加速するための重要な条件となるとの見方を示した。これは今後の世界経済や人々の生活に影響を与える可能性がある。
