Establishment-critical narrative
These studies reveal a concerning reality: AI companies are rushing toward superintelligence without establishing fundamental safety guardrails.

Governments must step in to regulate the industry.

Companies like Anthropic and OpenAI have made meaningful progress in safety frameworks and risk assessment, demonstrating that responsible development is achievable while maintaining technological advancement.
