Altman says OpenAI may pace frontier AI development alongside other labs
kimmonismus · x · 2026-09-11
According to Bloomberg, Sam Altman told employees at a company-wide meeting that OpenAI could potentially slow the pace of its frontier AI development — possibly in coordination with several other AI labs, though some may not agree to do so.
Observers are skeptical: commenters note it's hard to imagine China going along with any such slowdown, raising doubts about whether coordinated deceleration is feasible at all.
