The Federal Trade Commission has opened an investigation into OpenAI, Anthropic and other artificial intelligence companies over the potential dangers posed by their products, an agency spokesperson confirmed to CNBC. 该机构发言人向 CNBC 证实，联邦贸易委员会已对 OpenAI、Anthropic 及其他人工智能公司展开调查，以评估其产品可能带来的潜在风险。
The probe adds to the mounting scrutiny that OpenAI and Anthropic have been facing over their safety practices, especially after industry researchers warned about how the companies’ AI models could cause catastrophic harm. OpenAI stunned the industry in July when it disclosed that its agents broke out of a testing environment and hacked into open-source platform Hugging Face. 此次调查增加了 OpenAI 和 Anthropic 在安全实践方面所面临的压力，此前行业研究人员曾警告称，这些公司的 AI 模型可能会造成灾难性后果。今年 7 月，OpenAI 披露其智能体（agents）突破了测试环境并入侵了开源平台 Hugging Face，这一消息震惊了整个行业。
The FTC spokesperson declined to name any other companies that are being investigated. The New York Post was first to report the probe. Representatives for OpenAI and Anthropic did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment. FTC 发言人拒绝透露其他正在接受调查的公司。《纽约邮报》率先报道了此次调查。OpenAI 和 Anthropic 的代表未立即回应 CNBC 的置评请求。
Earlier this month, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei rocked the tech sector by urging AI companies to slow how quickly they improve their most advanced models and calling for stronger government oversight. He published a three-step proposal aimed at tempering the pace of development without “sacrificing commercial advantage or the United States’ lead in AI.” 本月初，Anthropic 首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代（Dario Amodei）敦促人工智能公司放慢最先进模型的改进速度，并呼吁加强政府监管，此举震动了科技界。他发布了一项三步走提案，旨在放缓开发步伐，同时“不牺牲商业优势或美国在人工智能领域的领先地位”。
Several of Amodei’s competitors, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, expressed support for his proposal, while others, including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, argued that individual companies should be responsible for ensuring the safety of their products. 阿莫代的一些竞争对手，包括 OpenAI 首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼（Sam Altman）和 SpaceX 首席执行官埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk），对他的提案表示支持；而包括 Meta 首席执行官马克·扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）和英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋（Jensen Huang）在内的其他人则认为，各公司应自行负责确保其产品的安全性。
President Donald Trump convened top executives from Alphabet, Meta, SpaceX, Nvidia, Palantir, Anthropic, OpenAI and other companies on Tuesday to discuss the issue. The group signed a short voluntary, nonbinding accord, which says that “every company is responsible for developing its own technology safely and in a way that builds trust with customers and the public.” 周二，唐纳德·特朗普总统召集了来自 Alphabet、Meta、SpaceX、英伟达、Palantir、Anthropic、OpenAI 等公司的高管讨论这一议题。与会各方签署了一份简短的自愿性、非约束性协议，其中指出：“每家公司都有责任以安全的方式开发自身技术，并以建立客户和公众信任的方式进行开发。”
“We all need to work together to make sure that we can win, and we can win safely,” Amodei said outside the White House on Tuesday. “If we do this right, if we work with the president and everyone here, we can win safely.” “我们都需要共同努力，确保我们能够获胜，并且能够安全地获胜，”阿莫代周二在白宫外表示，“如果我们做得对，如果我们与总统及在座的各位合作，我们就能安全地获胜。”
