AI rivals found rare agreement on safety. Putting it into practice is harder
Leaders at Anthropic and OpenAI say companies should slow model releases and accept outside safety checks, but competition and politics make coordination difficult.
- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and SpaceXAI CEO Elon Musk called for slowing artificial intelligence development to address safety concerns following an Anthropic researcher's dire warning about threats to humanity.
- Profit motivations, global competition with China, and pushback from President Donald Trump against limiting American technological advancement create significant obstacles to any coordinated slowdown effort.
- Companies are embedding independent evaluators with office access and company laptops to monitor safety practices. Altman welcomed a "federal framework" setting out safety standards for advanced AI, though critics questioned evaluator independence.
- Despite safety rhetoric, AI progress remains rapid; Altman noted "no amount of American competitive pressure should justify recklessness," yet development continues at accelerated pace amid market demands.
- Sandra Wachter, professor at the Oxford Internet Institute, warns meaningful slowdowns require international coordination but deems such cooperation "highly unrealistic" given current geopolitical conditions and competing national interests.
