Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei doesn't want to stop his competitors' progress; he just wants to slow it down.
In an essay released this past weekend, Amodei outlined a plan to coordinate a global slowdown of AI development to ensure "companies take adequate time to align and safeguard their models," overseen by "third party evaluators." While he admits that "some forms of coordination that would be impactful for pacing are legally challenging, and will require government support," Amodei states that for the regulatory regime to work, America and "other democratic governments" must "attempt to coordinate with authoritarian governments, to the extent this is possible."
