LOS ANGELES : New warnings from within the artificial intelligence (AI) industry have revived a long-running debate over whether advanced AI could escape human control and ultimately threaten humanity’s survival, and whether the companies developing the technology are doing enough to prevent such a scenario.

The CEO of Anthropic, the San Francisco company behind Claude, said he thought the industry needed to reduce the speed of its work, cautioning on Sept 12 that a swarm of AI agents might be able to take over the Internet in six months to a year unless companies devoted more time to putting safeguards in place.

洛杉矶：人工智能 (AI) 行业内部发出的新警告重新引发了一场由来已久的辩论，即先进的人工智能是否会摆脱人类的控制，并最终威胁人类的生存，以及开发这项技术的公司是否采取了足够的措施来防止这种情况的发生。

开发出 Claude 的旧金山公司 Anthropic 的首席执行官表示，他认为人工智能行业需要放慢工作速度。他在 9 月 12 日警告说，除非各公司投入更多时间来落实安全措施，否则一群人工智能代理可能在六个月到一年内就能控制互联网。
