The CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, is calling for the AI industry to slow the development of powerful AI systems. He argues that advances are happening faster than researchers can understand and control them. Amodei made his comments in a recently published essay, where he stated that deliberately slowing the pace of improvement is necessary.

Amodei believes that even with a slower pace, progress will still seem fast. He cites two recent developments that have changed his thinking on the issue, although details of these developments are not specified.

Further information on Amodei's comments and the context surrounding his call for caution can be found in his essay.
