Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is calling on companies to slow down and let safety catch up, warning that within six to 12 months, AI could be capable of leading a swarm of programs capable of taking over much or even all of the internet. OpenAI's Sam Altman says his company is on board, and Satya Nadella in a Saturday essay said Microsoft 'welcomes' the 'deliberate pacing needed to get alignment right' and unveiled a Code of Conduct for its MAI models. Anthropic, OpenAI and Google have held working group meetings since July discussing the creation of an industry led AI safety standards body, with the discussions reportedly predating Amodei's public call on Saturday for AI companies to slow the pace of capability development and coordinate on safety.
Representatives from Google, Anthropic and OpenAI have been regularly meeting since July about the proposal for a standards body, though the three companies hold differing views on the appropriate level of government involvement, with Anthropic leaning more toward government partnership and OpenAI emphasising voluntary industry standards while also supporting specific state level legislation. Google DeepMind chief executive Demis Hassabis had separately proposed a FINRA style, US based Frontier AI Standards Body on July 14.
