OpenAI and Anthropic staff back a petition to slow frontier AI progress
mark_k · x · 2026-07-29
Employees at OpenAI and Anthropic are reportedly circulating a petition asking the U.S. to support an international effort to deliberately pace frontier AI development.
The post is a reaction to that report, not the report itself, but the underlying issue is a substantive AI governance fight: whether frontier model progress should be slowed through coordinated policy action. That makes it relevant as an AI safety / policy item, and also as a broader AGI-era debate about the social costs of accelerating capability gains.
