Anthropic CEO Urges Slower AI Race to Bolster Safety

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei calls for slowing the pace of AI development, warning that rapid progress—especially when AI systems can improve themselves—could outpace our ability to understand and control them. He cautions that a race to the bottom driven by commercial incentives heightens risks of misuse, cyberattacks, and economic disruption, and he cites incidents like the OpenAI–Hugging Face swarm as a troubling example, arguing progress should be deliberate and guarded even as capabilities advance.
