Anthropic said the world should have the option to slow or temporarily pause frontier AI development, warning that the pace of progress in its Claude systems and other frontier models could soon create risks that are harder to control.
The company wants policymakers and rival AI labs to consider a coordinated slowdown before self-improvement in AI moves beyond human oversight. Anthropic says the aim is to give safety systems, public rules and wider institutions time to catch up before more advanced models make the risks harder to contain.
