Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called on artificial intelligence (AI) companies to slow the rate at which they advance model capabilities amid mounting fears of misuse of AI, outlining a three-step framework intended to pace development and create more time to manage its risks.
"We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models. Progress will still seem fast, and we must make wise use of the time we gain," Amodei wrote in a lengthy essay shared on X on Saturday.
Amodei's three-step plan calls for embedded independent evaluators with employee-like access to verify safety practices, coordination among frontier AI firms to set safety standards and limit unchecked AI development, and international cooperation to manage AI risks.
