Sam Altman Urges AI Industry to Slow Down Advanced Model Development
On September 14, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman joined Anthropic’s CEO in calling for a slowdown in the development of advanced artificial intelligence models. While emphasizing that progress should continue, Altman argued it must be tempered with caution and alignment considerations rather than being driven solely by competitive pressures or fears about China catching up. Altman highlighted concerns over losing control as AI capabilities outpace safety measures and monitoring systems. He also stressed the need for self-regulation within the industry before seeking government assistance in international coordination efforts to manage risks effectively.
