The White House and US Congress are unhappy with OpenAI and Anthropic leadership over warnings about the existential threats of artificial intelligence. According to Axios, American politicians see such statements as a source of public concern and a political problem. The claims relate to a public discussion of the risks of AI. Rhetoric about catastrophic consequences, according to government officials, is fueling fears around the industry and complicating talks about its development. Against this background, the US Federal Trade Commission is preparing an investigation of the two companies. We are talking about preparation, there are no conclusions from the regulator yet. At the same time, officials recommend the senior managers to moderate their public activities. A contradiction arises: in warning of the dangers of artificial intelligence, corporate leaders are drawing attention to risks that political leaders do not want to become a constant source of panic. The dispute moves to the level of the relationship between the business and the state.
