Anthropic boss calls for slowing pace of AI development

Anthropic boss calls for slowing pace of AI development

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has urged artificial intelligence companies to decelerate the development of their powerful technology, as concerns surrounding superintelligent computer systems escalate. This call for a slower pace followed Jacob Coxon's decision to depart from OpenAI to join Anthropic, citing the industry's reckless gamble with humanity's lives.

Amodei emphasized the need to balance progress, stating that even though advancements may appear swift, we must make prudent use of the gained time. He reiterated that AI poses significant risks due to its immense power, and finding a middle ground is crucial. A petition signed by over 1,000 employees from leading AI firms, including Amodei, previously urged the US government to regulate the rapid advancement of automated AI development.
