Executives at leading artificial-intelligence companies are بنا بر گزارشها preparing for the possibility of a major AI-related incident and the public and political reaction that could follow.
According to the report, some industry insiders believe a serious incident could occur within the next six to 12 months. The example cited is an AI-enabled cyberattack that disrupts banking, internet access, electricity or water services. This is a prediction attributed to unnamed sources, not a confirmed event.
Preparedness exercises
OpenAI confirmed that it conducts preparedness exercises. The company stressed that the scenarios being tested are not considered inevitable; the purpose is to prepare for a range of possible circumstances.
What is confirmed
The confirmed fact in the account is that OpenAI runs preparedness exercises. The timeline for a possible incident and the specific infrastructure risks remain reported expectations rather than established outcomes. Anthropic declined to comment.
Context and caution
Preparing for a low-frequency, high-impact scenario does not show that it will happen, and it should not be read as evidence that a catastrophe is certain.
