- A public statement signed by 1,224 employees from frontier AI companies says automated AI research could accelerate capability progress beyond society's ability to understand or control it.
- The letter argues that industry, governments, and society may need tools to deliberately pace frontier AI development, buy time for safety measures, and strengthen oversight.
- It asks the U.S. government to back an international effort to build the technical and governance mechanisms needed to do that.
