1,122 frontier AI employees call for international tools to slow AI progress
a__tomala · x · 2026-07-29
An open statement signed by 1,122 employees from frontier AI companies argues that automated AI research could accelerate progress faster than humans can understand or control. It says the world currently lacks the technical and governance tools to deliberately pace frontier-wide development.
The statement asks the U.S. government to support an international effort to build those tools. The linked page includes endorsements from names such as John Schulman and Shengjia Zhao, who say the industry may need coordination mechanisms before capability progress runs ahead of oversight.
