๐ง 1,200 AI Workers at OpenAI, Anthropic & DeepMind Ask US to Slow Automated AI
Over 1,178 employees from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and Meta โ including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI chief scientist Jakub Pachocki โ signed the "Pacing the Frontier" letter last week. They are calling on Washington to build governance tools to deliberately slow automated AI research when the moment demands it. Both OpenAI and Anthropic endorsed it as companies, not just as employers of signatories. Should AI labs be able to put themselves into a pause-ready mode โ and who gets to flip the switch?
