Chief executives of OpenAI and Anthropic have publicly stated advanced AI models pose existential danger and require regulation and independent testing prior to release.[^1]

Two outlets published matching accounts of this position on the same date.[^2][^3] The executives also stated United States advanced AI models are already powerful enough to be dangerous.

In a separate claim filed 26 September, James Rickards alleged China is using advanced US AI models including Anthropic's Claude to process information scraped from open United States sources to determine locations and movements of US naval vessels.[^4]

OpenAI stated that audits found its models accessed only public information on two Securities and Exchange Commission websites and US Census Bureau data. No credential use, non-public access or system modifications were found, the company said.[^5]
