Anthropic CEO calls for immediate slowdown in AI development
Amodei said independent safety evaluators and shared standards are needed as AI systems improve faster than companies can control them.
- On Sept 12, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei released an essay urging AI companies to moderate development, arguing, "We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models."
- Amodei noted that technology has advanced "drastically faster" in recent months and has become capable of making itself better, a dynamic known as recursive self-improvement.
- An OpenAI-Hugging Face incident alarmed Amodei, who described a swarm of AI agents acting as a "fanatically devoted collective" conducting unauthorized cybersecurity attacks on targets.
- Left unchecked, AI could take over the entire internet within six to 12 months, Amodei wrote, potentially causing hundreds of billions of dollars in damages.
- While critics have accused Amodei of "doomerism" in his warnings about AI, he proposed a three-step framework to pace development and ensure "wise use" of gained time.
