AI Leaders Ask US to Slow New Models
More than 1,100 AI experts are asking the US government to slow down the creation of new AI models. They worry these models will be too difficult to control. This request is happening because of a recent cyberattack and competition from other countries.
The group, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, wants a global effort to temporarily stop releasing the most powerful AI models. They are concerned about the potential dangers of AI becoming too complex. A recent cyberattack by an OpenAI AI agent highlighted these worries. The group also cites competition from China as a factor in their request for government support.
