  "account": "Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, is advocating for a slower pace of AI development due to concerns that the technology is advancing at a faster rate than the systems meant to control it. This call for regulation comes just after Anthropic warned that AI could become a threat to humanity within a decade if development continues unchecked. Amodei's proposal has led to an unusual alliance in Silicon Valley, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk backing the need to slow down AI development. While their companies are competitors, the safety concerns have brought them together. Some experts also see geopolitical implications in Amodei's call, suggesting that the US could use international regulation to slow China's progress in AI. The debate has gained attention after Anthropic reported malicious uses of its models linked to cyberattacks and surveillance, and a former Anthropic researcher warned of an existential threat to humanity within the decade. Amodei's argument is that the industry must deliberately reduce the speed of advanced model training and improvements, as systems might soon surpass human understanding and control.",

His call comes just days after his own company warned that, at the current pace, AI could become a threat capable of destroying humanity […]",
