Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says AI industry needs to give safety measures time to catch up

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has called for the AI industry to slow down its rapid development and give safety measures time to catch up. In a post on his website, Amodei warned that AI could be capable of leading a swarm that could take over the entire internet within six to 12 months if safety measures are not put in place. He offered a plan to increase checks on the industry, with some measures already being undertaken by Anthropic itself.

Other measures would require coordination among the industry and with governments around the world, including authoritarian ones. OpenAI's Sam Altman and Elon Musk have expressed support for Amodei's proposals.
