OpenAI CEO Sam Altman published an opinion piece in the Financial Times, putting forward a series of striking assertions. He pointed out that AI capabilities have now reached "sci-fi levels"—technologies once classified as science fiction are being applied in reality and will continue to transform the world. "The economic value of AI, its importance to national security, and its role in accelerating scientific discovery are becoming increasingly clear," he wrote. "Within one to two years, we will build systems with astonishing power that bring immense value to the world." Altman’s remarks come at a critical turning point in AI development. He called for establishing an "international forum led by the United States," bringing together government representatives, independent technical experts, and other stakeholders to set standards for the AI industry and make technologies accessible to countries and companies that participate and comply with these rules. "It can serve as a governance mechanism for laboratories, preventing unsafe races driven by commercial pressures." He particularly emphasized that without globally unified standards, individual nations would wield excessive influence. In his view, such international cooperation represents "a reasonable path to prevent over-concentration of power and ensure the democratic distribution of AI's benefits." Altman also specifically cited drawing inspiration from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) model. "Even during periods of extreme geopolitical turbulence, this kind of collaboration remains possible—the IAEA was born in the early Cold War era." Meanwhile, his longtime rival Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged emulating the regulatory approach of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), calling on the federal government to hold the authority to block the release of AI models. Amodei stated bluntly: "One day, the most powerful AI systems may resemble weaponizable nuclear material more than airplanes or cars—by then, we need far more aggressive regulatory measures than those currently in place."
