The accelerating development of artificial intelligence should be slowed, according to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. He issued this warning in an essay published Saturday, following the prominent resignation of whistleblower Jacob Coxon.
Coxon cited AI's potential existential threat to humanity as the reason for his departure. In response, Amodei stated that leaders in the AI industry "must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models." He added, "Progress will still seem fast, and we must make wise use of the time we gain."
