Anthropic CEO Calls for Slowing Down Frontier AI Development, Otoman and Musk Consecutively Support
Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, called for slowing down the development of frontier AI and proposed a three-step plan centered on 'verifiability': companies introduce third-party evaluations on-site, the US and its allies collaborate, and global cooperation is established. He believes that recursive self-improvement in AI has already emerged, and within 6 to 12 months, agents may control the Internet through zombie networks. Therefore, the enhancement of capabilities should be slowed down, with more time invested in reliability, alignment, explainability, and testing and evaluation.
