AI rivals found rare agreement on safety. Putting it into practice is harder
Leaders at Anthropic and OpenAI say companies should slow model releases and accept outside safety checks, but competition and politics make coordination difficult.
- Prominent AI industry leaders, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and SpaceXAI CEO Elon Musk, have called for slowing artificial intelligence development to address safety concerns.
- Significant obstacles to coordinated slowdown efforts remain, including profit motivations, global competition with China, and pushback from President Donald Trump against limiting American technological advancement.
- Companies are considering embedding independent evaluators to monitor safety practices and welcoming a federal framework for advanced AI standards. Altman called the evaluator proposal a "great idea" on social media.
- AI progress remains rapid despite safety rhetoric; Altman stated that "no amount of American competitive pressure should justify recklessness," highlighting the tension between development speed and safety interventions.
- Sandra Wachter, professor of technology and regulation at the Oxford Internet Institute, warns that meaningful slowdowns require international coordination, which she deems "highly unrealistic" given current geopolitical conditions.
