Guardian: Anthropic CEO calls for AI slowdown with three-part plan
nordicinst · x · 2026-09-12
The Guardian reports that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei renewed calls for the AI industry to slow down, publishing an essay 'We Must Pace the Frontier' with a three-part plan. Anthropic will unilaterally grant third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to its systems to verify safety measures and assess alignment. The appeal follows former researcher Jacob Coxon's warning that AI could precipitate human extinction by 2030, accusing both Anthropic and OpenAI of 'racing straight to self-improving superintelligence.'
