AI safety researcher Krueger calls for immediate indefinite halt to frontier AI
DavidSKrueger · x · 2026-09-15
AI safety researcher David Krueger warned in an Anadolu interview that if AI isn't stopped within a couple of years, "it's more likely than not that we will lose control and humanity will go extinct."
- He argues slowing down isn't enough: an immediate, indefinite international moratorium on frontier AI development is the only measure that will actually make us safe.
- Context: Dario Amodei recently called for slower AI development with greater independent scrutiny, backed by Sam Altman, Demis Hassabis, and Elon Musk.
- Krueger's position is more radical than the "slowdown" camp — development of more powerful systems must halt entirely.
