anthropic ceo dario amodei proposes ai slowdown plan, openai's sam altman agrees, but meta's mark zuckerberg and others resist government oversight.
anthropic ceo dario amodei proposed a plan to slow ai development, including embedding third-party evaluators in labs, coordinating across the domestic industry, and forging international agreements. openai ceo sam altman, google deepmind co-founder demis hassabis, and spacex ceo elon musk publicly agreed on aspects of the plan. however, meta ceo mark zuckerberg quickly came out against limiting companies' autonomy, and a report stated that zuckerberg, musk, and nvidia ceo jensen huang scuttled proposals for an industry-funded independent regulator. openai's global affairs chief chris lehane emphasized the importance of government involvement in ai safety, citing growing bipartisan support for mandatory national safety standards.
