Jack Dorsey argues AI development pauses protect tech giants, not safety

Former Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey stated at the Cato Institute that calls to pause frontier AI development serve to protect the commercial advantages of large tech companies rather than public safety. Dorsey opposes industry-wide restrictions negotiated by leaders, arguing they create barriers to entry and exclude independent researchers. He advocates for open-source AI to ensure transparency and public control. Additionally, he expressed support for safety reviews but rejected the proposal by Anthropic to slow down AI development as a justification for restricting open-source releases.
