Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has expressed support for a proposal to slow down the development of artificial intelligence. He agrees with Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, who argued that the industry should "pace the frontier" of AI development. Altman stated that OpenAI welcomes a federal framework but does not believe it needs to wait for an antitrust exemption or a law to develop AI responsibly.
According to SiliconANGLE, Amodei proposed that AI developers make a conscious effort to slow down and not rush to release newer and more powerful models. Elon Musk, founder of xAI, also backed Amodei's proposal. Altman suggested that OpenAI would commit to having independent evaluators with employee-like access to oversee its work.
David Sacks, a billionaire tech investor, responded to Amodei and Altman's proposal, dismissing their public appeals for external frameworks. According to the Times of India, Sacks argued that as OpenAI and Anthropic dominate the industry, they do not need government approval to slow down their development.
