On September 14, AXIOS reported that Jacob Corkson, a former researcher at Anthropic, Senator Bernie Sanders, and Steve Bannon, a former advisor to the Trump administration, are set to co-host an event on Tuesday. The event aims to foster the growth of artificial intelligence that remains firmly 'under human control.' It is being organized by the Future of Life Institute, the entity behind the 'Declaration on Artificial Intelligence in Support of Humanity.' This declaration underscores the importance of safeguarding human autonomy, averting the concentration of power, and ensuring corporate accountability.

Corkson, who previously held positions at both OpenAI and Anthropic before stepping down from the latter over safety apprehensions, is scheduled to address the gathering. Bannon, in a statement, highlighted that oligarchs have recognized the perils of hastening AI development without adequate safeguards—a move that could imperil not just the nation but all of mankind. Over the recent weekend, amid a spate of AI-triggered cybersecurity incidents and escalating public anxiety regarding the technology's future path, several prominent figures in the AI sector have urged for a deceleration in its progression.
