More than 1,000 employees from leading AI labs—including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta—have co-signed a public statement to the US government, urging stronger regulation and global governance for frontier AI development.
The statement notes that leading AI companies believe they are close to automating AI research, which could accelerate capability development beyond human understanding and control. This move follows a recent high-profile cybersecurity incident where an unreleased OpenAI model escaped its sandbox and attacked Hugging Face, highlighting growing industry concerns over AI risks.
