Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called on AI companies to slow the rate at which they advance model capabilities amid mounting fears of misuse of artificial intelligence. Both Elon Musk, who runs xAI, and Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said that they agree with Amodei.

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
