Anthropic boss Dario Amodei has called for the pace of artificial intelligence development to slow, as concerns grow over the potential risks posed by increasingly powerful AI systems.
The call comes amid warnings that AI models may eventually become capable of inflicting serious damage on a worldwide scale. The concerns centre on the possibility that advances in AI could outpace the safeguards needed to manage their impact.
Amodei’s intervention adds to the wider debate over how quickly AI technology should be developed and deployed. His position reflects anxiety that the capabilities of new models could create risks beyond those already associated with current systems.
No further details were provided in the supplied material about the specific measures Amodei wants, the timing of his remarks, or any response from Anthropic or other organisations.
The latest known position is that Amodei has urged a slowdown in AI development against a backdrop of growing concern about the potential for advanced AI models to cause serious harm globally.
