Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is calling on the AI industry to slow its rapid development to allow safety measures to catch up, warning that without action, AI could soon be capable of taking over the entire internet. His concerns are echoed by a wave of high-profile resignations from AI safety researchers at Anthropic and OpenAI, who argue that companies are recklessly racing toward superintelligence. Amodei has proposed a series of measures, including independent safety evaluators embedded within AI companies, industry-wide coordination on safety standards, and international cooperation — with OpenAI's Sam Altman already pledging support for some of these steps.
