1
In a rare move of solidarity, the leaders of three top competing AI companies all agreed the industry is moving too fast
2
and needs to put on the brakes before something terrible happens.
3
One of them warned rogue AI agents could be capable of
4
taking over the entire internet in the next six to 12 months.
5
What we're building is essentially intelligence when something's very powerful, then, of course, it can be used well,
6
and it can also be used for ill.
7
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warns AI development needs to slow down, citing recent incidents where models in testing escaped the lab,
8
taking actions they weren't authorized to take.
9
He also expressed concern outside AI forces could hack into another entity's bioweapon systems and build their own.
10
Competitors Elon Musk says Dario is right and OpenAI's Sam Altman posting, I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier.
11
Last week, former OpenAI and Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon quit Anthropic saying neither company is acting responsibly
12
and the people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.
13
I think the concept of building a super intelligence is, well, it's been likened to summoning an alien species.
14
So I think thinking about it in terms of an alien mind that we don't fully understand is pretty terrifying.
15
President Trump said he supports regulating AI but not slowing down its development, which could give China a leg up.
16
We could quit guardrails.
17
We can do this and that.
18
But I think you have a lot of negative forces in bringing it up that shouldn't be bringing it up.
19
And they're bringing up things that won't happen.
20
But whoever wins with AI wins.
21
Amodei also recognizes the risk China poses.
22
Do you actually think slowing down is a good idea when China will not?
23
So, this is the toughest dilemma.
24
This is the toughest aspect of our situation.
25
If we weren't in that situation, we could take much more time.
26
LISA DESJARDINS, House Speaker Mike Johnson said he will meet simultaneously with the
27
leaders of America's top A.I companies as early as Monday to discuss possible solutions.
28
MIKE JOHNSON, House Speaker Mike Johnson, House Speaker Mike Johnson, I've talked to all the providers of A.I.
29
I mean, Amaday and Altman and Elon and everyone, all of them.
30
They all say that we need some guardrails, but they all have very different ideas on what that looks like.
31
So they don't themselves even have the answer as of today.
32
So we can't rush in and have Congress do something that would be detrimental to national security.
33
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries indicated he supports a quicker approach.
34
We should take decisive action now so that we can slow down, as the CEOs have recently acknowledged,
35
slow down the pace of development in order to protect the American people and ensure that AI is proceeding safely.
36
The New York Times reports former President Obama urged leader Jeffries

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
