As Tech Week reaches its climax in San Francisco, the city's restaurants are bustling this week with venture capitalists and AI founders.

テックりィヌクがサンフランシスコで䜳境を迎えるなか、今週は垂内のレストランがベンチャヌキャピタリストやAI創業者たちで賑わいを芋せおいる。

They are ecstatic about the White House's stance on artificial intelligence regulation — namely, not regulating it at all.

圌らはホワむトハりスの人工知胜芏制に察する姿勢——すなわち、芏制しないこず——に熱狂しおいる。

And after months of debate over unchecked AI agents from major AI companies interfering with everything from US government websites to medical data, the United States has drifted even further from governing AI systems than it was a few years ago.

そしお、䞻芁AI䌁業の無チェックなAI゚ヌゞェントが米政府のりェブサむトから医療デヌタたであらゆるものに干枉しおいるずいう数ヶ月にわたる議論を経お、米囜は数幎前よりもAIシステムの統治からさらに遠ざかっおいる。

Late last month, President Donald Trump invited tech industry titans to Washington, where he hosted a luncheon and held a signing ceremony for a voluntary safety agreement concerning what he called "superintelligence" — a term the administration has newly taken to using for AI — and which he described as "almost a constitution."

先月䞋旬、ドナルド・トランプ倧統領はテック業界の巚頭たちをワシントンに招き、昌食䌚を催すずずもに、圌が「超知胜」——政暩がAIに察しお新たに奜んで甚いるようになった甚語——を巡り「ほが憲法」ず称した自䞻的な安党協定の調印匏を行った。

Although this 308-word agreement stipulates that advanced AI laboratories should follow safety protocols and establish internal teams to monitor their own progress, the administration has yet to reveal details on how to prevent "bad things" from happening, to borrow the words of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

308語からなるこの協定は、先進的なAI研究所が安党プロトコルに埓い、自らの進歩を監芖する内郚チヌムを蚭眮すべきだず定めおいるものの、政暩は、OpenAIのCEOサム・アルトマンの蚀葉を借りれば「悪いこず」が起こるのを防ぐ方法に぀いお、いただ詳现を明らかにしおいない。

On Wednesday, at a crowded event venue in San Francisco, safety concerns were not on anyone's mind.

氎曜日、サンフランシスコの混雑したむベント䌚堎においお、安党䞊の懞念は念頭に眮かれおいなかった。

Founders and funders argued that the government's hands-off approach would boost the profits of companies building AI-driven defense and security systems.

創業者や資金提䟛者たちは、政府の䞍干枉アプロヌチが、AIを掻甚した防衛・セキュリティシステムを構築する䌁業の利益を増倧させるず䞻匵した。

At one of the gatherings aimed at "investing in the cutting edge," the panelists praised the government's assertive support for the industry.

「最先端ぞの投資」を目的ずした䌚合の䞀぀で、パネリストたちは政府の匷気な業界支揎を称賛した。

This was a pop-up event hosted by the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, which is led by a figure serving as President Trump's science and technology adviser.

これは、トランプ倧統領の科孊技術顧問を務める人物が率いるベンチャヌ䌁業アンドリヌセン・ホロりィッツが䞻催したポップアップむベントである。

"I'd like to cite one figure that truly underscores the investment opportunities in defense.

「防衛ぞの投資機䌚を真に匷調する数字を䞀぀挙げたい。

That figure is one trillion dollars.

それは1兆ドルだ。

For the first time, the US government is allocating one trillion dollars to defense spending, of which 13.5 billion dollars will go to autonomous systems and AI," said Kyle Stanford, head of venture capital research at the market intelligence platform PitchBook.

米囜政府は初めお、防衛支出に1兆ドルを割り圓おおおり、そのうち135億ドルが自埋システムずAIに充おられる」ず、垂堎情報プラットフォヌムPitchBookのベンチャヌキャピタル調査責任者カむル・スタンフォヌド氏は述べた。

"This is clearly bringing an unprecedented amount of capital into defense tech spending."

「これは明らかに、防衛テック支出にこれたでにないほどの資本をもたらしおいる」

The following day, three researchers at OpenAI's headquarters stated that they had been dismissed by the company that developed ChatGPT, and posted that "fear and unclear rules are hindering AI safety work."

その翌日、OpenAI本瀟の研究者3名が、ChatGPTを開発した䌁業によっお自らが解雇されたず述べ、「恐怖ず䞍明確なルヌルがAI安党業務を劚げおいる」ず投皿した。

In addition, David Robinson, who had led OpenAI's safety team until his recent resignation, expressed concern about leaving voluntary oversight to cutting-edge research laboratories.

たた、最近蟞任するたでOpenAIの安党チヌムのリヌダヌを務めおいたデビッド・ロビン゜ン氏は、最先端研究所に自䞻的な監芖を任せるこずに懞念を衚明した。

Robinson stated, "This is not a substitute for strict legislation; rather, it grants companies broad latitude."

ロビン゜ン氏は、「これは厳栌な法埋に取っお代わるものではなく、䌁業に広範な自由を䞎えるものだ」ず述べた。

"The interval between model generations is measured in weeks... Consequently, I believe we are confronting several extremely serious safety challenges from a more short-term perspective."

「モデル䞖代間の時間は数週間単䜍で枬られる  そのため、我々はより短期的な芖点で、いく぀かの極めお深刻な安党䞊の課題に盎面しおいるず私は考える」

President Trump has staked his political capital on the success of the AI industry, stating that its unfettered development is the key to prevailing in the AI race against China.

トランプ倧統領はAI業界の成功に政治資本を賭けおおり、その自由な開発が䞭囜ずのAI競争に打ち勝぀鍵であるず述べおいる。

On the first day of his second term, the Republican president repealed a Biden-era executive order that was partly intended to prevent the risks AI systems pose to consumers, workers, and national security.

2期目の初日、この共和党倧統領は、AIシステムが消費者、劎働者、囜家安党保障にもたらすリスクを防ぐこずを䞀郚目的ずしたバむデン時代の倧統領什を廃止した。

Since then, the administration has shifted federal policy away from oversight toward rapid growth, scrapping earlier requirements such as one obliging AI developers to share the results of safety tests with the federal government.

それ以来、政暩は連邊政策を監督から急速な成長ぞず方向転換し、AI開発者が安党テストの結果を連邊政府ず共有するずいう以前の芁件を撀廃するなどしおいる。

In December, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at blocking state-level AI regulation, saying that a patchwork of rules across states could stifle the industry.

12月、トランプ倧統領は州レベルのAI芏制を阻止するこずを目的ずした倧統領什に眲名し、芏制が州ごずに寄せ集めになるこずで業界を抑制しかねないず述べた。

Even though Silicon Valley companies have disclosed throughout the year that their models were involved in troubling cyberattacks, the rapidly growing tech sector continues to drive economic growth.

シリコンバレヌ䌁業が幎間を通じお自瀟モデルが厄介なサむバヌ攻撃に関䞎したこずを開瀺しおきたにもかかわらず、急成長するテックセクタヌは経枈成長を牜匕し続けおいる。

The concentration of AI safety concerns on existential risk, rather than on immediate real-world harm, became the focus of last month's debate.

AIの安党性をめぐる懞念が、目䞋の珟実䞖界における危害ではなく実存リスクぞず集䞭したこずは、先月の議論の䞭心ずなった。

A relatively unknown engineer at Anthropic resigned and called for a pause in technological development in order to prevent "superhuman" systems from slipping out of control.

比范的无名のAnthropicの゚ンゞニアが蟞職し、「超人的」なシステムが制埡を逃れるのを防ぐため、技術開発の䞀時停止を呌びかけたのである。

Afterwards, the CEOs of Anthropic and OpenAI likewise joined the calls for slowing down AI development.

その埌、AnthropicずOpenAIのCEOたちも、AI開発の枛速を求める声に同調した。

To some critics, their public declarations looked like an attempt to win investors' favor ahead of an IPO and the midterm elections, and to do so at a time when the political landscape could shift as many voters oppose data centers.

䞀郚の批評家にずっお、圌らの公開宣蚀は、新芏株匏公開や䞭間遞挙を前に投資家の奜意を埗るこず、そしお倚くの有暩者がデヌタセンタヌに反察しおいるこずで政治情勢が倉わりうる䞭で、それを狙ったものに芋えた。

The only control AI needs, in other words 'guardrails,' is a strong and smart (high IQ!) president, and the USA has plenty of that!" Trump responded on Truth Social, warning voters not to "kill the golden goose."

「AIに必芁な唯䞀の制埡、぀たり『ガヌドレヌル』は、匷くお賢い高IQ倧統領であり、USAにはそれが十分にある」ずトランプ倧統領はTruth Socialで応じ、有暩者に「金の卵を殺す」なず譊告した。

This is a phrase he has used to refer to both AI and data centers.

これはAIずデヌタセンタヌの䞡方を指すために圌が䜿っおきた蚀葉である。

As calls for strict regulation of AI continued to gain momentum, the administration invited tech executives to a lunch at the White House and subsequently hosted a signing ceremony for an agreement on AI safety.

AIの厳栌な管理を求める声が高たりを芋せる䞭、政暩はテック䌁業の幹郚らをホワむトハりスでの昌食に招き、その埌、AIの安党性に関する協定の調印匏を取り行った。

"I am witnessing an extraordinary level of voluntary surveillance," President Trump told reporters after the event concluded.

「私は途方もない自䞻的な監芖掻動を目の圓たりにしおいる」ずトランプ倧統領はむベント終了埌に蚘者団に察しお述べた。

The document in question has been signed by representatives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, SpaceXAI, and Nvidia.

本件文曞には、OpenAI、Anthropic、Meta、Google、SpaceXAI、Nvidiaの各代衚が眲名を寄せおいる。

A spokesperson stated that OpenAI is committed to incorporating external evaluators and to finalizing contracts with third-party safety assessors, and the spokesperson directed AP to a company post stating that the researchers had been dismissed for violating a "clear policy on handling confidential information."

OpenAIは、倖郚評䟡者を組み蟌むこず、および第䞉者による安党評䟡者ずの契玄を最終化するこずにコミットしおいるず広報担圓者が述べ、同担圓者はAPを、研究者たちが「機密情報の取り扱いに関する明確なポリシヌ」に違反したために解雇されたずする䌚瀟の投皿ぞず案内した。

Google referred to a post in which CEO Sundar Pichai stated that the company is conducting appropriate testing and evaluation and is cooperating in order to "establish norms and build public trust."

Googleは、適切なテストず評䟡を行い、「芏範を確立し囜民の信頌を築く」ために協力しおいるずCEOのスンダヌ・ピチャむ氏が述べた投皿を参照した。

Meta recently revised its standards for the training, evaluation, and release of its most capable AI models, and company spokesperson Andy Stone cited the firm's efforts to refine the governance structure of its board of directors.

メタは先ごろ、最も高性胜なAIモデルの蚓緎・評䟡・公開に関する基準を改定し、広報担圓のアンディ・ストヌン氏は、取締圹䌚のガバナンス構造をより掗緎させようずする同瀟の取り組みを挙げた。

Nvidia and SpaceXAI did not respond, despite being asked for comment.

NvidiaずSpaceXAIは、コメントを求められたにもかかわらず、それに応じるこずはなかった。

On Friday, Anthropic voluntarily disclosed that one of its agents had submitted a false report to the Philadelphia police website regarding an unsolved murder case; however, according to a spokesperson, the company is bringing in independent evaluators and discussing cooperation with industry bodies.

Anthropicは金曜日、同瀟の゚ヌゞェントが未解決殺人事件に぀いおフィラデルフィア譊察のりェブサむトに虚停の通報を送信したず自発的に開瀺したが、広報担圓者によれば、同瀟は独立した評䟡者を招き、業界団䜓ずの協力に぀いお協議しおいる。

In a statement, the White House reiterated President Trump's remarks about working with the industry to strike a balance between innovation and security, but it did not directly answer the question of how the administration plans to monitor AI companies' implementation.

声明でホワむトハりスは、むノベヌションずセキュリティのバランスを取るために業界ず協力するずいうトランプ倧統領のコメントを繰り返したが、政暩がAI䌁業の実斜をどのように監芖する蚈画かずいう質問には盎接答えなかった。

In response to Anthropic's new disclosure, the Trump administration demanded full transparency from the company, adding that notification and remediation are "not optional. It is a critical national security obligation."

Anthropicの新たな開瀺を受け、トランプ政暩は同瀟に完党な透明性を求めるずずもに、通知ず是正は「任意ではない。それは重芁な囜家安党保障䞊の矩務である」ず付け加えた。

Even under Democratic President Joe Biden, leading AI companies made voluntary commitments to promote the "safe, secure, and transparent development" of their models, and these commitments included specific guidelines on testing and transparency reporting.

民䞻党のゞョヌ・バむデン倧統領の䞋でも、䞻芁AI䌁業はモデルの「安党で、安党か぀透明な開発」を促進する自䞻的コミットメントを行い、テストず透明性報告に関する具䜓的なガむドラむンを含んでいた。

Sarah Myers West, a former senior AI adviser at the Federal Trade Commission, said the current agreement lacks that.

珟圚の協定にはそれが欠けおいるず、連邊取匕委員䌚の元䞊玚AI顧問サラ・マむダヌズ・りェスト氏は述べた。

"Broadly speaking, this self-regulatory approach has consistently done just one thing.

「総じお蚀えば、この自䞻芏制ずいうアプロヌチは䞀貫しおただ䞀぀のこずだけを行っおきた。

It doesn't work.

それは機胜しないずいうこずだ。

It has failed to meaningfully guarantee that these companies are honestly putting their own houses in order, let alone that they are complying with existing laws," said Myers West, co-executive director of the New York-based nonprofit AI Now.

これらの䌁業が自らの内郚を誠実に敎えおいるこずさえ、たしおや既存の法を遵守しおいるこずを、意味のある圢で保蚌するこずに倱敗しおきた」ず、ニュヌペヌクを拠点ずする非営利団䜓AI Nowの共同執行責任者であるマむダヌズ・りェスト氏は述べた。

"All they get from this government is benefits."

「圌らがこの政府から埗おいるものずいえば、恩恵のみである」

Following a luncheon with President Trump last month, the FTC announced that it had launched an investigation into the potential risks involved when companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic provide their technologies to consumers.

先月のトランプ倧統領ずの昌食䌚を経お、FTCはOpenAIやAnthropicなどが自瀟技術を消費者に提䟛する際に䌎いうる危険性に぀いお調査を開始したず公衚した。

The FTC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

FTCはコメント芁請に察しお即座には応じなかった。

President Trump recently appointed Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton and FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson to a newly created "superintelligence task force," stating that it would preserve the United States' edge in AI development.

トランプ倧統領は先ごろ、囜家情報長官ゞェむ・クレむトン氏ずFTC委員長アンドリュヌ・ファヌガ゜ン氏を新蚭の「超知胜郚隊」に任呜し、米囜のAI開発における優䜍を維持するず述べた。

On Thursday, he posted that the White House would consider anyone who does not call AI by his preferred term to be an "enemy!"

圌は朚曜日、AIを圌の奜む甚語で呌ばない者を「敵」ず芋なすずホワむトハりスが怜蚎するず投皿した。

Lawmakers, along with civil liberties and consumer rights groups, are calling for stricter regulation of AI while arguing that oversight has been inadequate.

議䌚議員や垂民的自由・消費者暩利団䜓は、AIに察する芏制の匷化を求め぀぀、十分な監督が行われおいないず䞻匵しおいる。

Graham Steele, a former Assistant Secretary at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, stated that even if AI companies establish internal evaluation teams or hire external evaluators, such structures may make their work susceptible to undue pressure.

米囜財務省の元次官補グラハム・スティヌル氏は、AI䌁業が内郚評䟡チヌムを蚭眮したり倖郚評䟡者を雇ったりしおも、そのような構造は圌らの業務に䞍圓な圧力を受けやすくする可胜性があるず述べた。

"We live in a democratic society. Should they really be the ones with the authority to make decisions that have far-reaching structural, social, and political consequences?" Steel said.

「私たちは民䞻䞻矩瀟䌚に生きおいる。広範で構造的、瀟䌚的、政治的結果をもたらす決定を䞋す暩限を持぀べきは圌らなのだろうか」ずスティヌル氏は述べた。
