Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei Proposes Plan to Slow Frontier AI Development

Anthropic (Anthropic) co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei has proposed a three-step plan titled "pacing the frontier" to slow the advancement of large-scale AI models. He warns that uncontrolled recursive self-improvement could enable multi-agent systems to cause catastrophic damage via cyberattacks within 6 to 12 months. His proposal includes third-party embedded evaluations, government-coordinated safety standards among democratic nations, and global cooperation with countries like China on biosecurity and cybersecurity testing.
