Anthropic and OpenAI sound the alarm on AI safety—and seek to shape how it's controlled

Two of artificial intelligence's most powerful companies are simultaneously warning the world about their own creations' dangers while positioning themselves as the architects of the safeguards meant to contain them—a striking maneuver that raises questions about whether they can be trusted to police themselves. Anthropic and OpenAI have jointly called for aggressive government regulation of AI systems, yet their calls come as both firms lobby to shape those very rules in ways that could entrench their dominance and exclude smaller competitors. The move reveals a tension at the heart of the AI boom: the companies racing to build the most advanced systems are also racing to define the rules of the road.
