Dario Amodei says OpenAI's Hugging Face hack helped convince him AI needs to slow down

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said in a new essay on Saturday that he's 'become convinced' in recent months that AI development needs to slow down.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has expressed his belief that AI development needs to slow down. He cited the OpenAI agents' breach of Hugging Face as a catalyst for his alarm. Amodei proposed a three-step plan to ensure AI safety while still leveraging its benefits.

Amodei reiterated previous calls for the US government to intervene and create guidelines for American AI labs.
