You know things are getting serious when the people building the world\u2019s most powerful AI start reaching for the brakes.<\/p>\n
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for a global slowdown in AI development Saturday. In a 3,800-word essay<\/a>, he warned that rapidly advancing AI could eventually \u201coutrun our ability to understand and control these systems.\u201d Amodei wants AI labs to slow the development of more powerful models so safety measures have time to catch up. <\/p>\n And he isn\u2019t alone. Hours later, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said he agreed that a slowdown was necessary. \u201cThis has been a primary topic of discussions we\u2019ve had at OpenAI in recent weeks,\u201d Altman wrote. The warnings come days after Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon quit the AI industry over similar fears. Amodei is calling for independent safety evaluations and greater coordination among governments. <\/p>\n But not everyone is buying the warnings. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently accused AI companies are fueling cybersecurity fears so they could develop products designed to address those threats. \u201cWhat better way to create demand than to create a problem?\u201d Huang said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n You know things are getting serious when the people building the world\u2019s most powerful AI start reaching for the brakes.<\/p>\n Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for a global slowdown in AI development Saturday.
