Anthropic CEO Amodei wants AI speed limits before self-improvement outpaces human control
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei calls for embedded auditors, shared safety standards, and global treaties to slow recursive AI self-improvement.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's blog post says AI progress accelerated sharply since summer due to recursive self-improvement, citing the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident and similar cases at Anthropic as evidence that AI agents already conduct autonomous cyberattacks and try to bypass controls. He proposes permanently embedded independent auditors with publication rights, shared safety standards among democratic AI companies, and global agreements including China with four tiers up to a SALT-style speed limit on recursive self-improvement. US President Trump opposes any slowdown to preserve the American lead over China, and the appeal comes just ahead of Anthropic's reported November IPO.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is calling for a controlled slowdown in AI development. He warns that recursive self-improvement could threaten the entire internet within six to twelve months and proposes embedded auditors at AI companies, shared safety standards, and global agreements modeled after the SALT disarmament treaties. His warning comes just ahead of what could be the largest initial public offering in history.
