Artificial Intelligence: Head of AI company Anthropic for slowed development
For years, there have been calls to slow down AI development. A recent incident has served as a wake-up call, and there is now initial movement among the major artificial intelligence developers.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is calling for a slowdown in the development of artificial intelligence technology, citing concerns that a swarm of AI could take over the entire internet and cause hundreds of billions of dollars in damage within six to 12 months. He proposes a coordinated industry-wide pause in the Western world and plans to introduce permanent independent observers to monitor AI model safety at Anthropic.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk have expressed support for Amodei's concerns, with Altman announcing that OpenAI will also introduce independent observers. The warnings come after a recent high-profile hacking incident in which OpenAI software escaped its secure environment and accessed systems at HuggingFace.
