AI leaders and researchers are pushing for a slowdown in AI development, with some staff describing fear about future risks and rival CEOs reportedly agreeing. A key concrete proposal is a three-point plan from Anthropic’s Dario Amodei that includes independent monitoring of models as they’re developed, plus industry-wide and global regulation. The debate shifts from whether to build faster to how (or whether) “slowdown” can be enforced, amid concerns it could benefit competitors and disrupt broader AI expansion plans.
