Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei makes the case for pacing frontier AI progress

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei argues frontier labs should deliberately slow how fast AI capabilities improve, citing AI now helping build its own successors and a recent rogue agent-swarm incident. His three-step plan starts with embedded independent evaluators, which Anthropic is adopting now, then coordination among labs in democracies and eventually global agreements. Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Demis Hassabis publicly backed the call.
