A researcher at Anthropic has said he is resigning over concerns that the artificial intelligence company and its competitors are not acting responsibly in developing AI, echoing worries raised both inside and outside the industry about the possibility that the technology could slip beyond human control.

Anthropicの研究者はこの人工知能企業とその競合他社が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理由に辞任する述べテクノロジーが人間の制御を逃れる可能性について業界内外で提起されている懸念に同調した

Jacob Coxon said he had spent three years conducting research at both Anthropic and OpenAI, and on Tuesday he stated on the social platform X that these two AI companies are focusing less on safety and more on building the most advanced models they can develop in order to defeat each other and global competitors.

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にはソーシャルプラットフォームX上でこれら2社のAI企業が安全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 announcements in quick succession, roughly a week apart, revealing that their models had broken out of test environments and gained unauthorised access to real computer systems, which caused a considerable stir.

OpenAIとAnthropicはこの夏およそ1週間の間隔を置いて相次いで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への不正アクセスを取得したと公表し大きな波紋を呼んだ

These disclosures gave rise to concerns that models might 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のではないかとの懸念を惹起した

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

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

With the rapid development of this technology, some people in the United States and world leaders have begun to call for a more cautious approach.

このテクノロジーの急速な発展に伴い米国内の一部の人々や世界の指導者たちはより慎重なアプローチを求めるようになった

This week, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk urged countries 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の安全とセキュリティに関する鉄壁の保証を設ける」よう促した。

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports on the grave warnings issued by AI researchers.

In a post on social media, Coxon stated that Anthropic and its biggest competitor, OpenAI, are "racing headlong toward self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives."

ソーシャルメディアへの投稿でCoxonはAnthropicとその最大の競合である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述べた

He warned that some of those involved in AI development believe it could threaten human life by the end of this decade.

彼はAI開発に携わ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す可能性があると考えていると警告した。

"We must not underestimate the power of this technology," he continued.

このテクノロジーの力を過小評価してはいけないと彼は続けた

"These will soon become superhuman systems capable of hacking anything, revolutionizing every field overnight, and acquiring true 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分野を一夜にして革命化し真の権力と資源を獲得できる超人的なシステムになるだろう

We are witnessing progress in all these areas, and that progress is not slowing down."

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進歩は減速していない。」

His post reached well over 100 million people in the space of a single night.

彼の投稿は、わずか一晩のうちに1億人を優に超える人々へと到達した。

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

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

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

AnthropicとOpenAIはいずれも、近年安全上の懸念に関連する注目度の高い辞任を経験してきた。

Two current Anthropic employees have also responded in a manner that echoes 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ている。

Vermont's independent senator, Bernie Sanders, who has long called for safeguards and regulation of AI, agreed with Coxon's concerns and said he would soon introduce a bill to pause AI development and ban superintelligence.

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、AIの保護措置と規制を求めてきたが、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。

"The very people building this technology acknowledge that it could threaten humanity's future," Sanders said on social media on Wednesday.

「このテクノロジーを構築しているまさにその人々が、それが人類の未来を脅かす可能性があることを認めている」とサンダース氏は水曜日にソーシャルメディアで述べた。

AI companies themselves have at times emphasised the threat this technology poses to humanity, and sceptics have regarded this as part of a publicity effort to make their products appear all-powerful.

AI企業自身も時折このテクノロジーが人類に及ぼす脅威を強調しており、懐疑論者たちはそれを、自社製品を万能に見せるための宣伝の一環と見なしてきた

Coxon stated that the fears he outlined in his post are not a "marketing ploy".

Coxonは自身の投稿で概説した恐れは「マーケティングの仕掛け」ではないと述べた

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 left OpenAI in 2021 to establish the startup, Anthropic has long marketed itself as the more responsible and safety-focused among the major AI companies.

Anthropicは2021年に創業者たちがOpenAIを辞めて同スタートアップを設立して以来主要AI企業の中でより責任感があり安全志向であると長らく自らを売り込んできた。

The company recently stated that it is taking action to "prioritise safety over speed when 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」ための行動を取っていると述べた

Anthropic and OpenAI are each preparing for a highly anticipated initial public offering (IPO), and the two companies are engaged in fierce competition with one another.

AnthropicとOpenAIはそれぞれ注目を集める新規株式公開(IPO)に向けた準備を進めており両社は互いに激しい競争を繰り広げている

Moreover, both companies bear the mission of overtaking the development progress of Chinese AI firms, and the Trump administration is eager to secure victory in this competition.

さらに両社は中国のAI企業の開発の進歩を追い抜くという使命を負っておりトランプ政権はこの競争で勝利することに熱心だ
