OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei have suggested that AI companies should slow the pace of capability improvements to allow safety measures to catch up.
Amodei argued in an essay that increased spending on safety is insufficient without managing development speeds, while Altman agreed on the need to pace frontier models.
Industry analysts note that slower AI expansion could impact market expectations and hardware demand for chipmakers like Nvidia and Micron.
