Anthropic backs petition urging government tools to pace frontier AI development
AnthropicAI · x · 2026-07-29
Anthropic says it supports the Pacing the Frontier petition, signed by its CEO, several co-founders, and senior staff.
The statement argues that frontier labs may soon automate AI research, which could accelerate capability gains beyond society’s ability to understand or control them. It calls on the U.S. government to support an international effort to develop technical and governance tools that can deliberately slow or pace frontier automated AI development, giving industry and society time to build security and oversight mechanisms.
