What execs and politicians are saying about slowing down AI development
Dario Amodei's 'pace the frontier' safety essay drew support from Altman and Hassabis and pushback from Trump and Vance over AI regulation.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay 'We Must Pace the Frontier' proposing embedded third-party safety evaluators, coordination among frontier labs in democratic countries, and global pacing agreements. Sam Altman endorsed pacing and independent evaluators and welcomed a federal frontier AI safety framework, while Demis Hassabis and Elon Musk also voiced support. President Trump rejected any AI slowdown, citing competition with China, and Vice President JD Vance called industry requests for regulation a 'trojan horse'. Anthropic says it is unilaterally committing to the first step of embedding third-party evaluators.
