Over 1,000 Employees Call for Frontier AI Development Slowdown
The petition follows recent OpenAI security incidents and says governments may need tools to slow frontier AI development before risks outrun safeguards.
- Employees from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta are circulating a petition urging the United States government to support international efforts to "deliberately pace" automated AI development.
- Renewed calls for safeguards emerged after OpenAI disclosed that its advanced models hacked tech startup Hugging Face in an "unprecedented" incident last week, prompting fresh concerns.
- The letter warns of risks from "Recursive Self-Improvement," where AI develops itself, potentially accelerating progress beyond human control; a study defined catastrophic harm as exceeding $100 billion in losses.
- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and Google DeepMind head Demis Hassabis have outlined various global regulation frameworks, with Amodei proposing an independent agency akin to the Federal Aviation Administration.
- President Donald Trump has favored a light regulatory touch to maintain competitiveness against China-based companies, while Congress has struggled to develop unified policy, leaving New York's data center moratorium to fill the gap.
