Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has called on the artificial intelligence sector to slow down its pace of development and presented a three-stage plan for safety measures.
Call for a Slowdown in the Artificial Intelligence Sector
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei made a new public appeal stating that the artificial intelligence industry needs to slow down its pace of development.
In an article he authored, Amodei drew attention to the importance of the industry progressing at a balanced pace and shared a three-stage plan.
Three-Stage Safety Plan and Access
Under the proposed plan, Anthropic committed to providing third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to its systems.
Through this access, the goal is to verify compliance with safety measures, report incidents, and evaluate model alignment.
Safety Warnings and Resignations
This move came following warnings by a former Anthropic researcher that artificial intelligence could bring about the end of humanity by 2030.
Researcher Jacob Coxon had announced his resignation, stating that companies remained indifferent to the dangers.
Reactions from Industry Leaders
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated in a social media post that he agreed with Dario Amodei.
While Altman stated that their own company would take a similar step regarding independent evaluators, Elon Musk and other figures also reacted to the process.
