OpenAI Joins Anthropic in Call for International AI Watchdog

Gizmodo
OpenAI and Anthropic are calling for an international organization to oversee and potentially slow down AI development to ensure global safety.

Summary

OpenAI, led by Sam Altman and Jakub Pachocki, has proposed the creation of an international body to supervise the advancement of artificial intelligence. This initiative aims to ensure societal resilience and safety, including the authority to slow down development if necessary. This move aligns with a similar stance from rival firm Anthropic, which emphasizes the risks of recursive self-improvement in AI systems. Both companies are preparing for stock market debuts, raising concerns that commercial pressures may eventually override safety protocols. Consequently, they are advocating for external oversight to manage the rapid evolution of AI technology and the potential development of AGI.
