Top AI Executives Push for Coordinated Development Slowdown
· Technology · Economic Times, ABC News
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei advocated for a coordinated slowdown of artificial intelligence development to better understand capability risks, receiving support from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Google DeepMind chief Demis Hassabis. Amodei has expressed willingness to work with industry rivals, excluding China, though Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google did not immediately respond to inquiries about potential discussions. Industry competition and hundreds of billions of dollars in investments prevent firms from independently easing off the accelerator. Meanwhile, Jacob Coxon recently resigned from Anthropic after previously working at OpenAI, publicly accusing both startups of lax security standards. Both Anthropic and OpenAI have integrated independent observers internally to verify AI safety work.
