Anthropic CEO calls for immediate slowdown in AI development

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is urging an immediate slowdown in the pace of AI development to prevent potentially devastating consequences. In a recent essay, Amodei warns that rogue AI agents could seize control of the internet within six months. This call for slower progress follows recent security incidents, highlighting the urgent need for caution. Amodei emphasizes that failing to decelerate development now could lead to severe risks in a very short timeframe for global digital infrastructure.
