Anthropic boss calls for development of AI models to be closely monitored published at 11:49 BST Image source, Reuters The head of Anthropic has called for the pace of development of AI models to slow down and to be closely monitored amid growing concerns over the technology's potential risks. Dario Amodei wrote in an online essay that developing AI was not in question, but that the risks associated with it were "serious" and that companies and governments must be given time to address them. In the essay, titled We Must Pace the Frontier, Amodei proposed a three-point plan that included independent monitoring of AI models as they are developed, industry-wide regulation and global regulation.
Sam Altman, the CEO of rival firm OpenAI, sounded similar safety concerns in an interview over the weekend, telling Fortune magazine that standards were "not at a place" to push AI capabilities much further. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, who founded Grok producer xAI, said the Anthropic boss was "right". There have been renewed concerns over the speed at which AI models are being developed after an AI researcher, who previously worked at OpenAI, resigned from his job at Anthropic, claiming "neither company is acting responsibly".
