Dario Amodei, the boss of Anthropic, has urged for a slowdown in the development of artificial intelligence models and for increased monitoring. In an essay, he emphasized that while developing AI is not in question, the associated risks are serious and need time to be addressed. This call for a slower pace of AI development was echoed by Sam Altman of OpenAI and Elon Musk.
Recent concerns about AI's potential risks have grown, with an Anthropic researcher warning of a high chance of human extinction in the near future. Jacob Coxon, an ex-employee of OpenAI, expressed genuine fear and concern about the fate of humanity in the next two years. Amodei proposed a three-point plan: independent monitoring of AI models, industry-wide regulation, and global regulation.
Competitors have supported the idea of third-party monitors to evaluate the safety of models during development.
