It is collectively in everyone’s interest to slow down AI development until The Guardian has a better handle on the technology.
Key facts
- It is hard to get Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Dario Amodei to agree on much
- Good bills already exist, most notably representatives Jay Obernolte and Lori Trahan’s Frontier act
- But over the weekend, all three AI company CEOs called for AI development to slow down in the face of growing, alarming risks
- Inside AI companies, worries of catastrophic cyberattacks, AI-enhanced bioweapons and mass unemployment are now all too commonplace
Summary
It is hard to get Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Dario Amodei to agree on much. The combination of dire warnings from insiders and growing real-world evidence of rogue AIs should, in a sane world, lead to government action. House Speaker Mike Johnson, meanwhile, made it clear that Congress won’t be acting anytime soon. In failing to act, the Trump administration and Republicans are failing the American people. Meanwhile, companies find themselves in a classic prisoner’s dilemma.
