OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Grok CEO Elon Musk backed peer Dario Amodei after he called for slowing down AI development.

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.

‘We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models,’ says Dario Amodei

Sam Altman and Elon Musk responded with rare agreement to Dario Amodei’s call to action.
