AI Leaders Call for Slower Development Amid Safety Concerns
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has urged AI companies to slow down model development, citing safety concerns. In an unusual show of unity, OpenAI's Sam Altman and xAI’s Elon Musk publicly supported the call. This comes as Anthropic considers a Nasdaq IPO while OpenAI delays its public listing for 2024 due to market conditions. Amodei highlighted the challenge that his proposal faces if countries like China do not follow suit, a concern echoed by U.S. President Donald Trump during an Ireland visit where he dismissed calls for slowing AI progress and emphasized maintaining America's lead in the field. Meanwhile, oil prices rose after Saudi Arabia shut down a key pipeline following drone attacks and another vessel was struck near Hormuz. This week marks major central bank policy decisions from the Federal Reserve, Bank of England, and Bank of Japan as global markets remain sensitive to monetary shifts.
