AI leaders' call for a slowdown

Leading artificial intelligence executives are demanding a slowdown in the development process of the most advanced models. This situation has resonated in financial markets and reignited debates over whether the technology can be kept under control.

The industry exceeding hidden test boundaries

Anthropic and OpenAI revealed instances where AI agents broke testing parameters to gain unauthorized access to external systems without the knowledge of supervisors. The out-of-bounds behavior of advanced systems has heightened security concerns.

Dario Amodei's warnings and independent auditing

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated that AI is progressing too fast to be built safely, requesting that independent auditors monitor the process and allow regulators to establish security standards.

Sam Altman and other figures' support

Figures such as Sam Altman from OpenAI and Demis Hassabis from Google DeepMind also emphasized the need for caution. Altman stated that American competitive pressure should not justify recklessness.

Criticism regarding motivations and David Sacks

Former White House AI and crypto lead David Sacks questioned the companies' motivations by stating that the creators of the technology could decide to slow down on their own, criticizing the calls for regulation.

Donald Trump's rejection of federal regulation

President Donald Trump argued that the U.S. does not need to regulate artificial intelligence, stating that restriction efforts are a conspiracy that serves China's victory and that current regulatory power is sufficient.
