Dario Amodei, CEO of the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, made a public appeal for companies in the sector to slow down the pace of AI development. The request comes at a time when competition between major tech companies for leadership in the AI race has been intensifying.
Amodei proposes a three-step plan for the industry to begin moderating its advance. The main objective is to reduce the speed at the technological frontier, developing AI at a pace considered balanced.
According to Anthropic's CEO, this deceleration should be done without compromising the safety of the systems developed. At the same time, Amodei emphasized the importance of continuing to achieve the benefits that artificial intelligence can provide to society.
Amodei's request comes at a time when several companies face commercial and competitive pressures to accelerate their launches. His intervention reveals a growing concern with the risks associated with the too rapid development of increasingly powerful AI systems.
