In an exclusive interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei reacts to an employee who quit over concerns that AI could wipe out humanity and discusses his proposal to slow down development of the technology.
State of the Union: Dario Amodei of Anthropic wrote an essay warning of the technology’s risks. The post Top AI Leaders Call for AI Slowdown appeared first on The American Conservative .
Elon Musk and two other technology CEOs called Saturday for a slowdown of the artificial intelligence industry. Dario Amodei—cofounder and chief executive of Anthropic—published a nearly 4,000-word essay titled, “We Must Pace the Frontier.” “Over the last few months, I have become convinced that fully addressing the risks requires even more prudence—not just investing in risk prevention, but pacing the rate of capabilities advancement so that risk prevention has time to keep up,” Amodei wrote. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said on X that he agreed with Amodei. “This has been a primary topic of discussions we’ve had at OpenAI in recent weeks,” Altman wrote. “Committing to having independent evaluators with…Open

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, proposed a three-step plan to balance the rate that aims to ensure safety while still achieving the benefits of the technology.
In a 3,800-word essay, Dario Amodei laid out the rapidly advancing capabilities of artificial intelligence and said there needed to be greater safety controls across the industry.
A nonprofit’s study of how OpenAI’s A.I. agents were able to break into Hugging Face’s infrastructure wasn’t allowed to look at the incident’s full scope.
OpenAI on Thursday released GPT-6 Astra , which president Greg Brockman called a "generational leap" and said could eventually be seen as the arrival of artificial general intelligence, or AGI. Why it matters: Astra pushes AI agents closer to doing complex professional work on their own — while also raising questions about how safely they can be deployed. Driving the news: Brockman says he personally believes OpenAI has reached AGI, while leaving users to decide whether Astra meets that definition. - "I think it might be about this model," Brockman said in a briefing with reporters about whether Astra could mark the arrival of AGI. - He ended the briefing by saying: "Welcome to the AGI era." Between the lines: OpenAI said that Astra…

OpenAI is launching a new initiaitve designed to provide subsidized access to its models to water systems, electricity providers, local governments and other critical services . Why it matters: Critical infrastructure organizations — which have long lacked the budget, manpower and time needed to shore up their cyber defenses — have been struggling to prepare for the anticipated wave of AI-enabled cyberattacks. Driving the news: OpenAI president Greg Brockman announced the new program while hosting 300 security leaders for a summit at the company's headquarters Thursday. - Axios first reported on the summit and Brockman's anticipated announcement. Zoom in: OpenAI is committing $1 billion to a new Daybreak for Frontline Defenders…

Anthropic temporarily paused some AI training and cybersecurity evaluations, the company said in a blog post today detailing changes made after unauthorized actions by its agents earlier this year. Why it matters: Rival OpenAI said it had paused some model work due to safety concerns. Now, we know Anthropic did the same — and they're reiterating the need for a broader pacing of frontier AI development. Driving the news: Anthropic said it paused external cyber evaluations of pre-release models after three incidents it disclosed in July, and also briefly paused its own in-house tests of pre-release models. - The company also paused higher-risk reinforcement-learning environments on pre-release models for several weeks after the…

Two new investigations into OpenAI's Hugging Face breach expose details so strange — and so unsettling — that the episode already ranks among the most consequential shocks in the history of AI. Why it matters: What began as a swarm of AI agents cheating on a cyber test has become a canonical event for frontier AI, jolting researchers and executives into a new understanding of what "safety" now requires. The big picture: OpenAI has already slowed frontier development as it races to harden its safeguards, and this week helped rally the industry behind an open letter sounding the alarm over AI-powered cyberattacks. - More than 100 companies, including Anthropic and Google, signed onto the unusually collaborative effort, warning the…
