AI industry leaders propose slowing development as Russia declines participation

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and Elon Musk have reached a consensus on slowing down frontier AI development. Anthropic has committed to providing third-party evaluators with internal access to monitor safety compliance, a move OpenAI plans to mirror. While the proposal includes calls for government-level antitrust waivers and international dialogue, Russia has reportedly refused to join the initiative.
