1,000+ AI Lab Employees Call for US to 'Pace' AI Development
haydenfield · x · 2026-07-31
Over 1,000 employees from major AI labs have signed an open letter urging the US to establish a mechanism to "pace" AI development.
The letter does not explicitly call for a pause or slowdown in AI progress. Instead, it highlights that the current AI landscape only has a "gas pedal" without "brakes." The signatories admit that even if they wanted to slow down, they currently lack the technical means to do so, emphasizing the need to give the world options to manage this trajectory.
