Their concerns center on recursive self-improvement (AI systems that can automatically upgrade their own performance), which they say currently lacks any proven scientific solution to control safely. Both companies have experienced security incidents involving their AI models, prompting senior employees to call for slowing down AI development.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["safety","policy"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/10/openai-anthropic-ai-safety-slowdown-extinction.html","publishedAt":"2026-09-10T10:49:29.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":[],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":["OpenAI","Anthropic"],"affectedVendorsRaw":["OpenAI","Anthropic","Claude"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-09-10T10:49:29.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"moderate","impactType":["safety"],"aiComponentTargeted":"model","llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.92,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
