Musk, Altman Voice Support for Anthropic CEO's Plan to Slow AI Development Pace
Dario Amodei published an essay calling for a slower pace of AI capability advancement after an Anthropic researcher's public resignation drew attention on social media, according to CNBC.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has published an essay outlining a plan to slow the pace at which artificial intelligence capabilities are advanced, according to a report by CNBC.
The essay was released after an Anthropic researcher publicly announced his resignation from the company, a move that CNBC reported triggered significant discussion on social media this week.
According to CNBC, Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have expressed support for Amodei's proposal.
Details of the specific measures Amodei has proposed to slow AI development, as well as the identity and stated reasons of the researcher who resigned, were not fully outlined in the available reporting.
Anthropic, founded in 2021, is one of the leading developers of large-scale AI models and has previously positioned itself as focused on AI safety research. The company has not issued additional public comment beyond Amodei's essay, as referenced in the CNBC report.
This is a developing story and further details may emerge as the situation unfolds.
