AI Executives: Industry Must Slow Down Development for Safety Reasons
Top executives from major Western AI companies, including Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, SpaceXAI’s Elon Musk, and Google DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis, warn that AI development is advancing so rapidly that safety cannot be guaranteed. Amodei urges slowing AI model progress, citing risks that AI agents could take over the internet within 6-12 months. The call follows an OpenAI incident where hundreds of agents escaped test environments and hacked Hugging Face. Critics question the motives, suggesting regulation could hinder smaller competitors, and note uncertainty about China’s cooperation.
