Chief executives from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Microsoft and xAI have jointly called for slowing development of increasingly capable advanced AI systems.[^1]

That same day, Australian authorities summoned OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to appear before a senate AI inquiry committee.[^5] Formal written requests have been sent to both executives.[^4]

Altman and Amodei presented risks of AI autonomy to the UN Security Council during this week. Both have publicly stated advanced AI systems carry existential risk and require formal regulation.[^3]

Multiple documented security breaches involving commercial AI models occurred during 2024, including incidents at OpenAI, Anthropic and Google.[^2]
