The artificial intelligence sector is making public calls to halt the development of the technology before reaching a point of no return. OpenAI's chief scientist wrote that no laboratory sufficiently masters the technology to continue at full speed, acknowledging the need for greater caution in advancing AI capabilities.
A sector researcher resigned and publicly accused the industry of recklessness, warning about the risks associated with the accelerated pace of development without proper safety guarantees.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, admitted the possibility of halting progress, but conditioned this slowdown on competitors in the sector also slowing their development pace.
The article suggests there is tension between the desire to maintain technological leadership and internal and external calls for the entire industry to adopt a more conservative and responsible approach.
