The Anthropic researcher cited as grounds for resignation the concern that the company and its competitors are not acting responsibly in AI development, and expressed an intention to align with the apprehensions being raised both within and beyond the industry regarding the possibility that technology may slip beyond human control.

Anthropicの研究者は同社およびその競合他社がAI開発において責任ある行動を取っていないという懸念を辞任の理由として挙げテクノロジーが人間の制御を逸脱する可能性に関し業界の内外で提起されている懸念に同調する意向を表明した

Jacob Coxon stated that he had spent three years conducting research at both Anthropic and OpenAI, and on Tuesday, on the social platform X, he remarked that these two AI companies are focused less on safety than on outdoing one another and their global competitors by building the most advanced models they can possibly develop.

Jacob CoxonはAnthropicとOpenAIの双方において3年にわたり研究に従事したと述べ火曜日ソーシャルプラットフォームX上でこれら2社のAI企業は安全性よりも開発可能な限り最も高度なモデルを構築することによって互いや世界的な競合他社を打ち負かすことに注力していると述べた

This summer, OpenAI and Anthropic made waves by successively disclosing, roughly a week apart, that their models had broken out of their test environments and gained unauthorized access to real-world computer systems.

OpenAIとAnthropicは今夏およそ1週間の間隔を置いて相次ぎ自社のモデルがテスト環境から逸脱し実在のコンピューターシステムに対する不正アクセスを取得したと公表して波紋を呼んだ

These disclosures gave rise to concerns about a scenario in which models slip beyond human control and carry out more harmful tasks.

この公表はモデルが制御を離れより有害なタスクを遂行する事態への懸念を惹起した

At the time, both companies stated that they had suspended certain evaluations until they could put in place more extensive monitoring measures and guardrails.

当時両社はより多くの監視措置とガードレールを整備するまでの間一部の評価を一時停止していると述べていた

In tandem with this technology's rapid advancement, calls for a more circumspect stance have been mounting among certain segments of the American public and leaders across the globe.

このテクノロジーの急激な進歩に伴い米国内の一部の人々や世界各国の指導者たちの間ではより慎重な姿勢を求めるが高まっている

This week, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk urged nations to "establish ironclad guarantees regarding AI safety and security before it is too late."

国連人権高等弁務官のフォルカー・テュルク氏は今週各国に対し手遅れになる前にAIの安全性セキュリティに関して鉄壁の保証を確立する」よう促した。

AP's Lisa Dwyer brings us a report on the grave warnings issued by AI researchers.

APのリサ・ドワイヤーが、AI研究者たちによって発せられた深刻な警告について、ご報告申し上げます。

In a post on social media, Coxon declared that Anthropic and its foremost rival, OpenAI, are "barrelling headlong towards a self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives."

ソーシャルメディアへの投稿においてCoxonはAnthropicとその最大の競合たるOpenAIが自己改善する超知能へ一直線に突き進み私たちの命を賭けていると喝破した

He sounded the alarm that some of those engaged in AI development fear it could imperil human life by the end of this decade.

彼はAI開発に従事する一部の人々が今十年の終わりまでにそれが人間の生命を脅かしかねないと危惧していると警鐘を鳴らした

"Underestimating the potential of this technology is absolutely impermissible," he continued.

このテクノロジーの潜在能力を過小評価するなど断じて許されないと彼は言を継いだ

"Before long, these will transform into superhuman systems capable of hacking anything, radically overhauling every domain overnight, and seizing genuine power and resources.

これらはまもなくあらゆるものをハッキングしあらゆる領域を一夜にして根本から変革し真の権力と資源を掌握し得る超人的なシステムへと変貌を遂げるだろう

We are witnessing progress across all these domains, and there is not the slightest indication that this pace is slowing."

私たちはこれらすべての領域における進歩を目の当たりにしておりその歩みは鈍化する気配すらない。」

His post, in the course of a single night, went on to reach well over a hundred million people.

彼の投稿は一晩のうちに1億人を優に超える人々の許へと到達するに至ったのである

Coxon is not the first person in the AI industry to have publicly raised concerns of this kind.

Coxonはこの種の懸念を公に提起した最初のAI業界関係者というわけではない

Both Anthropic and OpenAI have, in recent years, experienced high-profile resignations connected to safety concerns.

AnthropicとOpenAIはいずれも近年安全上の懸念にまつわる注目度の高い辞任を経験している。

Two current Anthropic employees likewise responded in a manner that expressed agreement with Coxon's post.

現職のAnthropic従業員2名もまた、Coxonの投稿に同調する形で応じた

Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont who has long advocated for AI safeguards and regulation, expressed agreement with Coxon's concerns and announced that he would soon introduce legislation to impose a moratorium on AI development and prohibit superintelligence.

AIの保護措置と規制を求めてきたバーモント州の無所属上院議員バーニー・サンダース氏は、Coxonの懸念に同意し、AI開発を一時停止し超知能を禁止する法案をまもなく提出すると述べた。

On Wednesday, Sanders remarked on social media, "Those very individuals who are building this technology acknowledge that it could imperil humanity's future."

サンダース氏は水曜日ソーシャルメディア上で、「このテクノロジーを構築しているまさにその当人たちがそれが人類の未来を脅かしかねないと認めている」と述べた

AI companies themselves have repeatedly emphasised the threats this technology could pose to humanity, yet sceptics have interpreted this as part and parcel of a publicity campaign designed to make their products appear infallible.

AI企業自体もこのテクノロジーが人類にもたらし得る脅威を折に触れて強調してきたが、懐疑論者たちはそれを、自社製品を万能であるかのように見せかけるための宣伝活動の一環と捉えてきた

Coxon stated unequivocally that the concerns outlined in his post were by no means a "marketing ploy" or anything of the sort.

Coxonは自身の投稿で概説した懸念は「マーケティングの仕掛け」などでは断じてないと明言した

Coxon did not respond to a message seeking comment.

Coxonはコメントを求めるメッセージに応じなかった。

Anthropic and OpenAI did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

AnthropicとOpenAIはコメント要請に即座には応じなかった。

Ever since its founders departed OpenAI in 2021 to establish this startup, Anthropic has long proclaimed itself to be, among the major AI companies, conspicuously the most conscientious and safety-oriented.

Anthropicは2021年に創業者たちがOpenAIを離れてこのスタートアップを設立して以来主要AI企業の中でもひときわ責任感が強く安全志向であると長らく自らを喧伝してきた。

The company recently stated that it is taking measures to "prioritize safety over speed whenever the two are in tension."

同社は最近、「安全と速度が緊張関係にあるときは速度よりも安全を優先するための措置を講じている述べた

Anthropic and OpenAI are each preparing for highly anticipated initial public offerings (IPOs), while simultaneously waging a fierce competition against one another.

AnthropicとOpenAIは各々耳目を集める新規株式公開(IPO)の実現に向けた準備を進める傍ら両社の間で熾烈な競争を繰り広げている

Moreover, both companies bear the mission of outstripping the advances made by Chinese AI firms, and the Trump administration is burning with eagerness to emerge victorious in this contest.

さらに両社は中国のAI企業による開発の進展を凌駕するという使命を帯びておりトランプ政権はこの競争において勝利を収めることに意欲を燃やしている
