The CEOs of OpenAI, Sam Altman, of xAI, Elon Musk, and of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, agreed this Saturday on the need to slow down artificial intelligence development, after several concerning incidents. The appeal came from Amodei, responsible for the company that created the virtual assistant Claude, to whom the competitors of Grok and ChatGPT gave reason. Amodei argued that AI companies must advance more slowly and cautiously in the development of this powerful technology, as the prevention of risks arising from this activity is fundamental. "I agree with Dario," Altman wrote on X, adding that his company would follow Amodei's example by accepting external safety evaluators. "Dario is right," Musk responded. Amodei suggested, in a blog post, that the sector reduce the pace at which it improves AI model capabilities, citing two main factors: AI's ability to self-improve and the risks associated with this automation. The three executives converged on the view that safety must prevail over speed in advancing technology.
