The CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, is calling for the AI industry to slow the development of powerful AI systems. He argues that advances are happening faster than researchers can understand and control them. Amodei made his comments in a recently published essay, where he stated that deliberately slowing the pace of improvement is necessary.

He believes that even with a slower pace, progress will still seem rapid. Amodei cited two recent developments that led him to this conclusion, although details of these developments are not specified here.

Further information on Amodei's essay and his concerns about AI development can be found in the original publication.
