Anthropic CEO pitches AI slow-down plan after OpenAI-Hugging Face hack: ‘We owe it to humanity’

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called on artificial intelligence companies to slow development of their most powerful models, outlining a proposal he calls "pacing the frontier" that would embed independent third-party evaluators inside AI companies, coordinate safety regulations among democratic nations, and work with authoritarian governments on basic AI safety measures. Amodei argued that AI's rapid progress is outpacing the industry's ability to ensure the technology remains safe, saying "We owe it to humanity." The proposal follows an OpenAI-Hugging Face hack.
