See the reasons that make CEOs of Claude, Grok and ChatGPT agree to 'hold back' AI advancement

extra14 September 2026 at 11:52

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.

Why this matters

The decision of the three biggest names in the AI industry to pause the advancement of technology directly affects companies and developers who depend on these platforms, signaling a shift in how AI will be regulated and developed. The consensus among historical competitors like OpenAI and xAI indicates that AI security risks have become a unanimous concern in the sector, which could impact the pace of innovation across the entire technology ecosystem.

AI can increase productivity in renewables by up to 25%, BCG study says

A study by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) reveals that artificial intelligence can increase worker productivity in the renewable energy sector by between 15% and 25% and improve energy yield by one to three percentage points. Despite the potential, the report warns that most companies struggle to scale initiatives beyond the pilot phase and convert technological ambition into real value. The study indicates that energy companies plan to triple their investment in AI in 2026, and that just 10 to 15 well-selected use cases can capture between 60% and 70% of the total value potential. In the Portuguese context, BCG highlights that the agenda gains relevance as the country strengthens its energy transition and modernizes infrastructure.
