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

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has called for a slowdown in the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies, warning that without such a pause, within six to 12 months AI could potentially control the entire internet. This warning comes amid growing concerns about AI's capabilities, both within the industry and from outside observers.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has also expressed a commitment to safety measures, stating that his company will wait until next year to sell stock on Wall Street as it focuses on ensuring AI's safety. Amodei has outlined a plan to increase safety checks within the industry, but implementation may prove challenging, as it involves coordination across companies and with governments worldwide, including those that may be authoritarian.
