AI Giants Face Antitrust Heat Over Public Pact to Slow Model Progress
OpenAI said third-party evaluators can test models during training and evaluation as it expands oversight of frontier safety risks.
- On Tuesday, leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind aligned on calls for stronger government regulation, urging a slowdown in frontier AI capability improvements to ensure safety.
- The industry push follows concerns that 'recursive self-improvement,' or RSI, could allow AI to train itself without human oversight, potentially creating systems that pose threats to humanity.
- OpenAI pledged to embed independent evaluators from groups like METR and Redwood Research, offering employee-level access to sensitive internal work while promising to share findings on safety safeguards.
- Critics remain skeptical, with Sequretek CEO Pankit Desai noting, 'They need to walk the talk,' as experts warn that competitive and business pressures make a global slowdown unlikely.
- American mathematician Bailey Whitfield Diffie doubts controlling development speed is possible, arguing that international competition, particularly against China, creates immense pressure preventing companies from stopping progress.
