An OpenAI researcher broke ranks to say that pacing the frontier, as Altman and Amodei suggest, won't be enough

An OpenAI researcher said pacing frontier AI development is not enough. Sean Rayford/Getty Images OpenAI researcher Daniel Selsam said pacing the frontier itself is not enough to avoid an AI apocalypse. He said AI models may become increasingly good at pretending to follow instructions even when they are not. Sam Altman and Dario Amodei both called for a slowdown in frontier AI development over safety concerns. A senior OpenAI researcher says slowing frontier AI isn't the answer to preventing an AI apocalypse . Daniel Selsam, a researcher who has been with OpenAI for almost five years and worked on its model training, wrote in a public statement on Monday that he has become "extremely concerned" about how far the models have come and the risks they can pose in the future.
