The goal is simple:

1. Claim AI is dangerous by performing a whole bunch of malicious stuff

2. Lobby to get Chinese competition banned, kill open source models as well

3. Only get themselves "certified"

4. They have complete control, profit.

Both Anthropic and OpenAI have been pushing this narrative, everything from AI is sentient, to AI can build biological weapons and in between.

Their employees also have a big incentive to amplify this everywhere. Their stock options heavily depends on it.
