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.
