OpenAI is considering slowing the pace of development of its most advanced artificial intelligence systems. The company's CEO, Sam Altman, has informed employees that he is contemplating coordinating this action with other AI labs, as reported by Bloomberg.
The company has requested guidelines from Congress regarding the legality of implementing a coordinated slowdown in the development of artificial intelligence in the United States. This arises amid uncertainty about whether such an agreement could violate antitrust laws.
Concerns about AI safety have grown recently following alerts from developers at major labs about the risks associated with the race to create more advanced models without a clear understanding of how to keep them under control. In particular, researcher Jacob Coxon has warned that there is over a 10% chance that artificial intelligence could pose a threat to humanity in the next decade.
Additionally, Anthropic, another company in the sector, has revealed that it has blocked attempts to use its AI systems for research related to biological weapons. In a public policy document, OpenAI has called for regulation in the United States for the most advanced models, including independent audits and cybersecurity measures.
