Anthropic's Amodei proposes plan to 'slow the pace' of advancing AI capabilities

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay on Saturday urging artificial intelligence companies to pace how quickly they improve model capabilities, a move that comes as a growing chorus of researchers have called for a coordinated slowdown. Amodei proposed a three-step plan that he said will help temper the pace of development without "sacrificing commercial advantage or the United States' lead in AI," though he conceded that some steps may be easier to achieve than others. Anthropic is actively gearing up for what is widely expected to be a historic IPO, though the company has not officially disclosed when it plans to debut.
