Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is asking the tech world to hit pause and slow down AI development.
He's worried that if we keep speeding ahead, we could see bots taking over the internet in just 6 to 12 months, potentially causing chaos and costing economies hundreds of billions of dollars.
Amodei believes this extra time should be used wisely to handle new risks.
Amodei urges developers to slow AI
Amodei's essay reflects growing worries about how fast AI is advancing.
He emphasizes that developers need to use this break responsibly: "We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models," he wrote.
The goal? Make sure powerful new tech doesn't get out of hand before we're ready for it.
