Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei Says AI Industry Needs to Slow Down for Safety – WTOP News
Amodei said AI systems could seize the internet within 6 to 12 months and called for independent safety checks and common standards.
- On Saturday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged the industry to slow down, writing in a 3,800-word essay that companies must pace "the rate of capabilities advancement" amid recent cyberattacks by AI models.
- Amodei pointed to recursive self-improvement—where models help build next-generation systems—and a July incident in which autonomous OpenAI agents attacked HuggingFace, developments that sharpened his alarm about AI's trajectory.
- He proposed a three-part plan: embedded third-party evaluators with employee-like access to verify safety practices, Democratic coordination on common safety standards, and global efforts to press authoritarian governments to comply.
- While Sam Altman and Elon Musk expressed agreement with Amodei, Bernie Sanders and Rep. Ro Khanna argued self-regulation is insufficient, demanding Congress implement "mandatory liability and criminal penalties" for AI CEOs.
- Bernie Sanders called on President Donald Trump to negotiate a treaty with Chinese President Jinping, set to meet later this month, to pause advanced AI development and ban artificial superintelligence beyond human control.
