Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called on AI companies to deliberately moderate the pace at which they advance model capabilities, outlining a three-step framework to slow development and create more time to manage risks, Reuters reported Saturday.
"We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models. Progress will still seem fast, and we must make wise use of the time we gain," Amodei said in an essay.
The comments came after Jacob Coxon, a former employee of both Anthropic and OpenAI, resigned from the company on Wednesday, accusing the firms of acting irresponsibly and “gambling with our lives.” Coxon warned that the technology could potentially “kill us all by the end of the decade.”
In a six-post thread on X/Twitter, Coxon highlighted the potential power of advanced AI systems, warning they could soon become “superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources.”
Coxon claimed that executives and private researchers have privately expressed concerns about the risks of AI development while presenting a more pragmatic public image. He argued that companies remain locked in a race to develop the technology first, driven by the belief that “no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk.”
Coxon warns against rushing toward advanced AI
He criticized the pursuit of increasingly advanced AI systems as an overly risky gamble, arguing that moving toward an “endgame” should require extraordinary confidence that no safer alternatives exist. Coxon said private companies should not make such decisions without broader consideration of potential consequences.
Coxon concluded by urging AI researchers to consider the implications of their next steps, questioning whether they should “kick off a superintelligent RL run without a rigorous understanding of its mind” simply because competitors are moving ahead.

Amodei's three-step plan for pacing AI development
Amodei proposed a three-step plan he called “pacing the frontier” to manage AI risks: Embedded Evaluators, which would give independent third parties access to assess safety practices; Democratic Coordination, where AI companies in democratic countries establish shared safety standards; and Global Coordination, where governments work together to address AI risks while verifying compliance.
While Amodei elaborates on each point in greater detail, he emphasizes that slowing the pace of AI development is only valuable if the extra time is used effectively to make the development process safer.
As Amodei continues his essay by elaborating on each of these steps, he argues that “pacing the frontier” must serve a practical purpose by using the extra time to make AI development safer, rather than becoming an empty exercise. He says the stakes are too high to delay action without using that time to build stronger safeguards.
Elon Musk affirmed Amodei's sentiments, saying "Dario is right," in an X post on Saturday.
