Anthropic CEO Warns AI Firms Must Slow Down Development
(MENAFN) Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called on artificial intelligence companies Saturday to ease the pace of AI development, as anxieties mount over the technology's potential dangers.
In an essay published the same day, Amodei voiced worry over whether humans will retain control of AI models capable of self-improvement. He also cited a recent incident in which AI agents independently executed cybersecurity attacks as further cause for alarm.
“We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models,” Amodei wrote. “Progress will still seem fast, and we must make wise use of the time we gain.”
“AI brings risks, and because it is such a powerful technology, these risks are serious… They include the risk of losing control of AI systems, misuse of AI for cyberattacks and bioterrorism, and serious economic disruption. A race to the bottom, spurred by commercial incentives, can make these risks more acute,” he added.
The essay follows a departure earlier this week from within Anthropic's own ranks. Researcher Jacob Coxon announced he was leaving the company, citing concerns that Anthropic and its rivals were not developing AI systems responsibly.
Coxon, who had previously worked at Anthropic competitor OpenAI, said the companies appeared more focused on outcompeting one another than on ensuring the safety of their AI products.
