Recent warnings from within the U.S. artificial intelligence (AI) industry have highlighted safety concerns in the rapidly advancing AI era. Korea's President Lee Jae Myung, who is aiming to position the country among the top three global AI powers, may need to consider shared safety rules for AI, given these concerns. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, a vocal advocate for AI safety, urged companies to decelerate the development of the technology.
He expressed apprehension over the rapid progress of AI and its emerging capacity for recursive self-improvement. Amodei stated, "I believe that if slowing down bought us even an extra year or two before models reach critical levels of capability, and we used that time to advance alignment, we could greatly reduce the risk that something goes seriously wrong."
The backing of tech mogul Elon Musk, the owner of xAI, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has added weight to these safety warnings.
