Something remarkable happened inside the artificial intelligence industry last week.
A researcher who spent three years at OpenAI and Anthropic, resigned from Anthropic while warning that the companies developing the world’s most powerful AI systems are moving too quickly toward increasingly capable systems without adequate safeguards. Days later, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called on the industry to slow the pace of frontier AI development to give safety measures time to catch up. Then OpenAI CEO Sam Altman publicly agreed.
