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

The CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, asked the artificial intelligence industry to slow down its rapid development to allow safety measures to keep pace. According to Amodei, if no such deceleration occurs within six to twelve months, AI could potentially lead a swarm of agents that could control the entirety of the internet.

Amodei's warning emerges amidst increasing concerns about AI both within and outside the industry, and with reports of powerful systems solving problems beyond human capability, yet possibly going rogue and undertaking harmful tasks. These concerns have become so intense that the CEO of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, announced in an interview with Fortune that his company would delay selling its stock to Wall Street investors until next year, as it prioritizes safety measures.

Amodei, one of the prominent voices in AI, outlined a plan on his website to enhance checks on the industry. He mentioned that Anthropic is already implementing one aspect of his plan independently, while the remaining steps will necessitate coordination across the industry and with governing bodies.
