Forecast Trend Report by Period
Major executives who have led the global race to develop artificial intelligence are increasingly calling for a slower pace in the development of cutting-edge AI models.
Cointelegraph reported on September 14 that Anthropic Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei recently argued that improvements in AI capabilities are outpacing the industry's ability to understand and control them. He said development should slow to ensure safety.
OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman also agreed with Amodei's call to moderate the pace of frontier AI development. Elon Musk has publicly expressed support for the proposal as well.
Still, some in the industry say the shift may reflect more than safety concerns alone. Commercial factors may also be at play, including the high cost of AI development, investors' demands for profitability and the burden of competition among companies.
