In a blog post, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei cautioned that swarms of rogue AI agents could take over the internet in as little as six months.

Amodei urged rivals to invite embedded external auditors into their offices and coordinate a slowdown in development of AI that would allow regulators to catch up.

Amodei’s essay comes on the heels of an Anthropic researcher’s resignation over concerns that the firm and its competitors are not acting responsibly with AI development.
