AI leaders call for industry slowdown amid fears of uncontrollable technology

Anthropic's Dario Amodei and OpenAI's Sam Altman are calling for a slowdown in AI development amid concerns about the risks of building technology that humans can't control. The calls come as fears grow that AI may become too powerful and pose a threat to humanity. AI CEOs and researchers are calling for a slowdown in AI development amid concerns about the risks of building technology that humans can't control. The call comes after concerns about the rapid pace of AI development and the potential risks it poses to humanity. The AI companies, which rarely agree on anything, set aside years of feuds and competition to endorse a slower development pace for their models. The call for a slowdown is seen as a rare show of unity from rival developers after safety warnings from Anthropic boss and AI researchers. The Guardian view is that humanity can't control the AI industry and that the call for a slowdown is necessary to prevent the development of dangerous AI.
