China’s top intelligence official warns that rapid advances in artificial intelligence could threaten political stability and essential services, including critical infrastructure. The warning is presented as one of Beijing’s most detailed comments on AI risk from the country’s intelligence leadership.
The alert comes as Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei urges AI developers to slow down. In a Saturday blog post, Amodei argues that current capabilities are moving faster than safety measures and calls for broader coordination among AI companies and governments in the US and other democracies. Bloomberg reports the focus of the Chinese warning on stability and infrastructure impacts, while NDTV highlights Amodei’s push for practical restraint and coordination as a response to perceived gaps in safeguards.
