Palantir CEO Alex Karp calls for "reasonable guidelines" on AI

Karp's comments arrive as policymakers and tech leaders fiercely debate how to regulate sophisticated AI models, after researchers warned of the technology's dire risks to humanity. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who has introduced AI safety legislation, told CNBC this week that the U.S. is on the "verge of losing control completely." The calls for regulation have brought together unlikely rivals, including Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman, and Elon Musk, while President Trump and tech CEOs including Nvidia's Jensen Huang and Meta's Mark Zuckerberg have pushed back. OpenAI on Wednesday disclosed six new cases of "unexpected or concerning" model behavior within the last six months, in addition to the Hugging Face breach, which sparked debate over wider AI safety precautions. The outcome may hinge on whether the House kill-switch bill advances past the Senate backlash, and on whether liability proposals gain traction with builders who would bear the legal risk.
