Anthropic is urging a global, verifiable slowdown of frontier AI development to give safety and alignment research time, arguing that self-improving AI could outrun controls; the call, coming after a reported $965 billion valuation, has been met with skepticism that it’s marketing or an attempt to hobble competitors.
Anthropic warns that rapid AI progress could make humans the bottleneck, as models advance toward writing most code; it also flags risks from recursive self-improvement and urges slowing development with broader policy and industry collaboration to manage potential control and economic impacts.
Anthropic warns that AI progress is accelerating toward recursive self-improvement, where frontier models could autonomously design, build, and train more capable successors, creating a feedback loop with minimal human involvement; the company urges lawmakers to engage early and develop tools to verify and align AI outputs with human intentions.
OpenAI is recruiting a safety researcher to prepare for recursive self-improvement, aiming to guard against AI that could train better versions of itself, including work on data-poisoning defenses, model interpretation, and tracking automation of technical staff as it pursues its AI roadmap.
A wave of AI startups, including Ricursive Intelligence and Recursive AI, aims to build systems that improve themselves—designing better chips and AI models with less human input—backed by hundreds of millions in venture funding, signaling bold bets amid concerns of an AI bubble.
