According to the new AI Security Index released by Future Life Research Institute on Wednesday, the security practices of major AI companies such as Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, and Meta are “far below emerging global standards.” According to the institute, a security assessment conducted by an independent panel of experts found that while these companies are all competing to develop superintelligence, none have developed a perfect strategy to control such advanced systems. After many suicides and self-harm incidents involving AI chatbots came to light, the public is increasingly concerned about the impact on society of systems with reasoning and logical thinking skills, and even smarter than humans. It is in this context that the study was published. Max Tegmark, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and chairman of the Future Life Research Institute, said, “Despite recent strong concerns about AI-driven hacking attacks and people's insanity and self-harm caused by AI, American AI companies are still less heavily regulated than restaurants, and they continue to lobby against binding safety standards.”
