Fears of AI burst into the biggest technological race of the century
OpenAI and Anthropic leaders call for slowing down advanced AI development due to security risks, after years of investor euphoria and trillions of dollars committed.
Leaders in the artificial intelligence sector, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman, Elon Musk of SpaceX, and Demis Hassabis of Google, are calling for a slowdown in the development of advanced AI. This shift in stance comes after years of rapid investment and progress in AI, with concerns growing over the technology's safety and governance.
The sector's top companies, including Anthropic and OpenAI, are seeking to go public, but their plans may be impacted by the debate over AI safety and regulation. Amodei has proposed giving external evaluators access to AI models to detect problems and advocating for global coordination to regulate AI.
