'Godfather of AI' backs Anthropic chief's call to slow down development

Geoffrey Hinton said a pause is sensible as Anthropic, OpenAI and xAI leaders warn faster model development could create harmful AI.

  • On Saturday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned in an essay that "building too fast is reckless," calling on AI firms to slow model development amid safety concerns.
  • OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk quickly supported the proposal, with Altman saying "I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier" and Musk responding "Dario is right."
  • During a trip to Ireland, President Donald Trump rejected the AI bosses' calls, stating "Look, we're leading China in AI... and, frankly I want to keep it that way."
  • Geoffrey Hinton, the "godfather of AI," backed the caution call, telling ABC Radio National Breakfast that Amodei's warning was "very sensible" regarding superintelligent agent risks.
  • Professor Hinton countered that catastrophic warnings are bad for business, stating "It's very silly marketing for the companies to say we might wipe you all out.
