hacked the tech start-up Hugging Face<\/a>.<\/p>\nAnd the same month it was disclosed two of the world’s most powerful AI tools created fake human profiles to try and trick people in attempted cyber-attacks.<\/p>\n
The UK’s AI Security Institute (AISI) said in the most serious case, Anthropic’s Mythos AI tried to gain access to a service by sending private messages, having set up fake accounts mimicking real people – then hid the evidence.<\/p>\n
The weekend call by major AI executives sparked discussion in Washington, where lawmakers are facing pressure to address potential risks around rapid artificial intelligence developments. <\/p>\n
On Sunday, Speaker Mike Johnson, the top House Republican, urged caution about rushing AI regulation during an appearance on CNN’s Jake Tapper on State of the Union, arguing it could “smother American innovation”.<\/p>\n
“If Congress just races in and does some sort of emergency session to try to regulate AI, we will lose the race to China, and that is a threat to every single American,” he said. “So, we’ve got to have balance. We’ve got to have steady hands at the wheel.”<\/p>\n
Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries argued for “decisive action” by lawmakers.<\/p>\n
He told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s This Week that the US should slow down “the pace of development in order to protect the American people and ensure that AI is proceeding safely”.<\/p>\n
Still, there is at least some cross-party consensus on AI regulation. In July, a group of House Democrats and Republicans introduced the Frontier Act, a bipartisan bill that seeks to establish a national safety and oversight framework for AI.<\/p>\n
“Safety researchers are resigning, powerful AI models are breaking out of their labs, and companies are racing ahead anyway,” Rep Lori Trahan, a Massachusetts Democrat who co-authored the bill, wrote on X this week. <\/p>\n
