1,132 AI employees urge the U.S. to create an international pacing mechanism

- 1,132 verified employees from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Thinking Machines and other frontier labs have signed a personal statement asking the U.S. government to create an international mechanism to pace automated AI development.
- The appeal is not for a permanent ban or pause; it argues for preserving the option to slow the race if AI progress begins accelerating faster than human institutions can respond.
- The statement frames the risk as a feedback loop: better AI speeds up coding, experiments, algorithms and infrastructure, which then produces an even stronger successor and an ever-shorter research cycle.
