After publishing an essay on September 12 proposing that AI companies slow the pace of their most advanced models, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told CBS the "toughest dilemma" is what happens if adversarial nations, namely China, do not do the same, CNBC reported. In a CNN interview he said slowing down too much could give autocratic governments an edge.
Amodei wrote that pacing does not mean halting training or technical progress, and that Anthropic has unilaterally committed to the first step of his plan, giving third-party evaluators employee-level access to verify safety practices. Trump rejected the proposal, saying it "won't stop our progress."
