One of the companies at the forefront of the AI revolution is calling for a pause in AI development to allow society time to grapple with its immense implications.
In a lengthy blog post published Friday (NZT), the makers of Chatbot Claude say AI progress is reaching a potentially dangerous speed and "the human role is narrowing at each step in the development process.”
While gearing up for a trillion-dollar IPO later this year, alongside rival OpenAI, the company is calling for global collaboration between AI labs and governments to slow the current breakneck race to build increasingly powerful systems.
“We believe it would be good for the world to have the option to slow or temporarily pause frontier AI development to enable societal structures and alignment research to keep up with the advance of technology,” the blog post states.
Anthropic highlights that AI models are increasingly responsible for their own development and nearly full automation of AI progress is becoming plausible.
