Altman, Hassabis and Musk back Amodei's call to 'slow the pace' of frontier AI
nordicinst · x · 2026-09-14
What happened
After public alarm over Anthropic researchers' warnings that AI could threaten humanity by 2030, CEO Dario Amodei published a proposal, "We Must Pace the Frontier," calling to slow frontier AI development.
Responses
- Sam Altman: agreed on pacing and committed OpenAI to hosting independent evaluators with employee-like access to verify safety practices
- Demis Hassabis: said Amodei's essay points to the right path forward
- Elon Musk: "Dario is right."
Open questions
The Guardian notes these pledges raise hard issues around regulation, actual risk, and whether the industry will genuinely slow its race — rhetoric still far ahead of action.
