“Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, penned an essay calling for a slowdown in the development of frontier AI models.”
“Amodei said that he believes AI capabilities are advancing faster than researchers can understand and, critically, control them”
“Amodei proposed several measures, including embedding independent safety monitors in AI labs.”
“If we go too slow, I still believe that the wrong people will be in charge of the technology. And that, again, will bring the probability of things going wrong very high.”
“To be clear, pacing does not mean halting model training or technical progress, but ensuring companies take adequate time to align and safeguard their models, and for third party…”
““I don’t think that today we can make progress at a rate of 10 years per year for a number of reasons,” Amodei said.”
“If you just kind of eyeball the rate at which these capabilities are increasing, it does make you think that we’ll get there by 2026 or 2027.”
