1,100+ workers at OpenAI, Google, and Meta back calls to pace frontier AI
A repost says more than 1,100 employees across OpenAI, Google, Meta, Thinking Machines, and other companies are expressing concern that AI may develop faster than people can control it.
The argument is that race dynamics make frontier AI governance messy, and that as systems move toward superintelligence, the world will need more options to pace development. The referenced letter says it is not asking for a full slowdown, but for the option to do so.
