Artificial intelligence leaders call for slowing down for safety
Leading figures in the industry requested that the pace of artificial intelligence development be slowed down so that safety work does not fall behind.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated that the development speed of artificial intelligence models should be slowed down so that safety efforts can keep up. This call received support from figures such as OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Elon Musk.
Demand to slow down development speed
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated that the development speed of artificial intelligence models should be slowed down to allow safety work to catch up. Industry executives expressed concern that the pace of technological development could outpace safety measures.
Warnings from the resigning employee
The discussions came back to the agenda when Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon warned upon leaving his post that artificial intelligence could pose an existential threat to humanity.
Buying time for safety research
Amodei stated that systems could develop faster than researchers' capacity to ensure safety, and that the pace of enhancing artificial intelligence models' capabilities should be adjusted to buy time for safety research.
Support from industry executives
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that he supported the idea of models being reviewed by independent evaluators, while Elon Musk noted that he agreed with the view. Google DeepMind President Demis Hassabis also evaluated Amodei's proposals as a step in the right direction.
