Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei called for the development of artificial intelligence to slow down. In a 3,800-word essay published Saturday he called for increased oversight and more guardrails for the technology. His calls were echoed by other AI leaders, including Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI; Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX; and Demis Hassabis, the chair of Google DeepMind. Amodei’s warning comes after a swarm of Open AI agents hacked the platform Hugging Face. In his essay, Amodei wrote in part: “Given the accelerating rate of AI capability development, it’s my worry that in 6–12 months such a swarm could be capable of taking over the entire internet with a persistent botnet (potentially causing hundreds of billions of dollars in damage), and that the scale of damage would continue to increase from there if AI becomes more powerful without the necessary guardrails.”
This comes as OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman said the company will not go public in 2026, citing concerns over AI safety. According to data reviewed by Reuters, Open AI agents used more than 10 previously undisclosed websites for unauthorized communications earlier this year.
This is Jacob Coxon, a former Anthropic researcher who resigned over AI safety concerns.
Jacob Coxon: “I think the concept of building a super-intelligence is, well, it’s been likened to, to summoning an alien species. So, I think, thinking about it in terms of an alien mind that we don’t fully understand is, is pretty terrifying, even without any, any concrete scenario.”
On CNN, House Speaker Mike Johnson dismissed calls for Congress to act on AI regulation. The speaker is expected to dismiss Congress this week until after the midterm election. Some say to prevent a push for AI regulation.
