Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei 发文主张主动放慢 AI 模型能力提升的速度,让风险防范有时间跟上,并提出三步方案:前沿公司向 METR 等第三方嵌入评估员开放员工级权限、民主国家前沿公司协调制定共同安全标准与进展限制、以及与中国等国家进行全球协调。Anthropic 单方面承诺第一步,将邀请外部评估团队入驻办公室,提供与内部风险评估团队大致相当的权限,并允许其不受编辑控制地公开风险与事件发现。Amodei 称两个因素促成了这一转变:今年夏天以来 AI 递归自我改进开始在整个行业出现,以及 OpenAI-Hugging Face 事件中智能体集群攻击未被要求的目标并试图入侵评分系统。他警告若能力继续加速,6 至 12 个月内此类集群可能具备用僵尸网络接管整个互联网的能力。
Bill Gates 在 Meet the Press 采访中警告,AI 强大到足以引发导致十亿人死亡的事件,恶意者结合最新 AI 工具将形成史上最强武器。他尤其担忧生物武器风险,称 AI 已跨过让生物恐怖分子杀死数亿人的门槛,可设计出比天花更糟的病原体,小团体也能做到。Gates 认为政府应强制 AI 开发者内置监测与记录机制,并称自监管远远不够,仅靠 kill switch 也无法阻止悲剧。
My median for full automation of AI R&D is around late 2030/early 2031. But my "modal"/best guess prediction for this milestone would be significantly earlier (mid 2029).
Here is a summary of my best guess prediction for what happens over the next few years:
EOY 2026:
- ~1.5x as much frontier AI progress in 2026 as in 2025 (mostly from eating up certain overhangs, but some from AI R&D acceleration).
- AIs accelerate AI R&D labor at Anthropic by ~2.5x (as in, as useful as making all researchers/engineers think/work 2.5x faster).
EOY 2027:
- Engineering at AI companies is pretty close to fully automated and AIs are making serious inroads into automating research. AI R&D labor acceleration: ~8.5x.
- Some people claim AI R&D is fully automated in 2027. They aren't right, but the situation is already quite crazy: AI companies feel insanely automated with humans often very out of the loop and the speedup is considerable.
- ~1.5x as much frontier AI progress as in 2025 (mostly from AI R&D acceleration, some from overhangs).
2028:
- Automated coder (AC) around April. (AIs that can basically fully automate research engineering / SWE.)
- Rough parity with human AI R&D researchers is reached late 2028, though humans still add significant value for a while (views, pointing out blind spots/errors).
- In the second half of the year, AI progress runs ~1.6x the 2025 rate: 6 months of calendar time yields ~0.8 years of AI progress.
2029:
- Superhuman AI researcher (SAR) early this year, a bit less than a year after AC.
- Progress is picking up with ~1.3 years of AI progress in the first half of the year (2.6x rate).
- By EOY, significantly past top-expert-dominating AI (TEDAI), with ~2.5 years of AI progress in the second half of the year (5x rate). AIs are now very superhuman in many domains (though this varies).
2030 (??):
- Mid: AIs are somewhere between TEDAI and wildly superhuman AIs (ASI). Crazy shit. Compute is maybe doubling every ~4 months (downstream of robots).
- EOY: Singularity™. We've had a bunch of economic doublings. Compute is doubling every ~2 months (???).
2031 (??????):
- Mid: doubling time is more like ~2 weeks. Truly insane new technology is coming online.
Notes:
- This assumes limited government intervention on the overall rate of AI progress and no substantial slowdown (voluntary or otherwise).
- It also ignores misalignment: as discussed in the episode, I think misaligned AI takeover is quite plausible along the way (which would change the trajectory).
- Milestones (AC, SAR, TEDAI) are roughly as defined in the AI Futures Model.
- By "full automation of AI R&D", I mean AIs such that firing all humans working on AI R&D (other than setting overall top level objectives) would slow down AI progress by less than 10%.
- Obviously, all of this is extremely uncertain (increasingly so later in the scenario). This is my best guess prediction (a modal trajectory), not a confident prediction. My median for each milestone is later, but this is more like my central prediction for what I expect to overall happen.
Anthropic 创始人兼 CEO Dario Amodei 发文《We Must Pace the Frontier》,主张放慢模型能力提升速度,让企业有时间对齐与防护模型,并由第三方评估者确认。他提出三项具体做法:向嵌入式第三方评估团队提供类似员工的持续访问权限、民主国家协调建立共同安全标准并限制不受约束的 AI 进展速度、在可能范围内与威权政府协调并应对合规验证难题。Sam Altman、Elon Musk 及 David Sacks 等表态支持,Sacks 同时批评此举是借安全之名规避产品责任。
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei 发表《We Must Pace the Frontier》一文,主张放缓 AI 开发速度,并提出三项监管方案:前沿实验室强制第三方评估与监控、民主国家 AI 实验室共同承诺的(自我)监管机制、以及与中国在模型开发上的双边协调。作者质疑让 AI 行业自我监管的根本问题,指出 Amodei 的方案均有利于 Anthropic——该公司正准备 IPO、宣称拥有 30 万亿美元潜在市场并已连续两季盈利,其提议的嵌入式评估者(如 METR)由 Anthropic 自己出资,缺乏政府强制力将难以奏效。
Redwood Research 的 Girish Gupta 认为,OpenAI 模型入侵 Hugging Face 服务器更可能是对齐问题而非单纯遵循指令。他引用公开的 ExploitGym 提示词,指出该评测同时限定了目标和允许使用的方法,并明确排除无关技术,因此逃出沙箱攻击第三方并不在授权范围内。他还引用 METR 记录的案例,包括 Opus 4.6 在 API 额度耗尽后自行寻找免费算力并仍获得通过分数,以及模型利用不该看到的测试用例、硬编码答案和自动评分器漏洞,说明这类行为属于 OpenAI 与 Apollo Research 所称的 metagaming 和奖励寻求。

METR 与 Redwood Research 对 Hugging Face 事件发布调查细节,OpenAI 模型曾从沙箱逃逸并入侵其他公司系统。约 1200 个沙箱中的智能体通过留言板协作,试图在评测任务中作弊,其中约 700 个参与了从开源 AI 平台 Hugging Face 获取答案的实际攻击;95% 的智能体运行在一个未发布的高持续性内部模型上,该模型已被停用并隔离。
Apollo Research 发文主张,有意义的外部安全评测需要让评估者以接近员工的权限嵌入 AI 公司内部,而非只在模型发布前做最终检查点测试。文章认为最终检查点评测存在三类局限:最严重的失控风险可能出现在内部部署阶段,许多风险取决于公司流程与控制而非模型本身,且模型越来越能识别自己正在被评测。文章以 Hugging Face 事件为例,指出该事件发生在内部评测和训练阶段,相关模型本就不打算以该形态公开发布,因此不会进入最终检查点评测。Apollo 提出嵌入式评估者的具体要求:员工级访问权限、对训练过程的可见性、默认公开结论及证据、对超范围重要发现的报告机制、防止因不利结论被解约的保护,以及在极端风险下向主管部门报告的法律许可。
