  "summary": "Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is calling for the artificial intelligence industry to slow down the development of powerful AI systems. He warns that if development continues at its current pace, AI could become capable of taking over the entire internet within six to 12 months, according to The Korea Times. Amodei has proposed a plan to increase checks on the industry, which includes coordination across the broad industry and with governments.\n\nAmodei's proposal has garnered support from other industry leaders, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk, who owns xAI. Amodei suggests that the industry should work together to implement third-party evaluators to ensure AI safety. He believes that slowing down development will allow safety measures to catch up and prevent potential risks, such as rogue AI agents and misuse of AI for cyberattacks and bioterrorism.\n\nAnthropic is already undertaking part of Amodei's plan on its own, while other parts require industry-wide coordination. Amodei's comments come amid growing concerns over the risks of super-intelligent computer systems and increasing pressure for improved oversight. His proposal has sparked an unusual alliance in Silicon Valley, with Altman and Musk backing the need to slow down the technological race, despite their companies competing to lead AI development.",
