Artificial intelligence (AI) company Anthropic proposed an industry-wide pause in AI development, arguing that increasingly capable systems may soon begin accelerating their own development beyond the pace of human oversight.
The Claude maker in a report warned Thursday that AI could eventually become capable of helping build better versions of itself, potentially accelerating progress beyond the pace at which safety measures and governance frameworks can adapt.
AI Is Already Helping Build AI Anthropic said employees are increasingly relying on Claude to write code, conduct research and complete technical tasks that would otherwise take significantly longer to finish.
"I started leaning hard into Claudifying about a year ago.
That's been a crazy adventure and it's now been ~5 months since I last wrote any code myself," an Anthropic employee said.
