Sam Altman, Elon Musk back Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s warning to slow AI development
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has asked AI companies to slow down, and Sam Altman and Elon Musk have backed his call.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has warned against accelerating the development of advanced artificial intelligence systems, citing concerns over the potential difficulty in controlling increasingly powerful technology. His call for caution has garnered support from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. In an essay, Amodei proposed slowing the pace at which AI model capabilities improve, emphasizing the need for "wise use of the time we gain."
He also highlighted the risks of recursive self-improvement, which he believes could surpass human control. Amodei shared a three-step plan involving outside evaluators with permanent, employee-like access to AI systems, setting common safety rules, and fostering international cooperation. This stance came amid growing worries about the dangers of superintelligent AI systems and the potential for such technology to fall into authoritarian hands.
