Anthropic says AI development should slow, warns self-improvement is near
Anthropic has urged major AI labs to slow the pace of AI development, the Wall Street Journal reported. In a blog post, it warned AI systems are nearing “recursive self-improvement,” in which they could enhance themselves without human intervention. The post proposed a global agreement to slow development and a system to verify compliance. Anthropic plans discussions with policymakers and researchers in coming months. Critics say the warnings may serve competitive or marketing aims.
