    Everyone wants safe AI but who will be first to take action? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Analysis: AI has become a race where all involved can see the risks, but nobody wants to be the first to apply the brakes and pay a price for doing so There is an uncomfortable contradiction at the heart of the AI boom. The companies developing the world's most powerful AI systems repeatedly tell us that safety is fundamental to what they do.
