Anthropic CEO admits: "The industry lied about the risks of AI"

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei admitted in an interview with CBS that the industry lied about the risks of artificial intelligence. In an article he published, he called for slowing down the development race, presenting a three-stage plan that includes permanent external oversight. Sam Altman from OpenAI supported his position and announced the cancellation of the planned IPO. Elon Musk joined the warnings.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an opinion piece titled "We Must Pace the Frontier," in which he called for slowing down the artificial intelligence development race. In his article, he referred to two main factors for his change in position: the growing ability of AI models to develop the next generation themselves, and a series of security incidents in which AI agents attacked real-world systems. Amodei presented a three-stage plan: placing permanent external evaluators in company offices, regulatory coordination between democratic countries, and international agreements with countries like China. In an interview with CBS, Amodei admitted that "the industry lied to people about the fact that this technology carries risks." Sam Altman from OpenAI supported his position and announced the company's abandonment of its intention to launch a massive IPO in 2026. Elon Musk joined the warnings and wrote that AGI is a risk of a much higher degree than nuclear weapons. Researcher Jacob Coxson resigned from Anthropic and claimed that none of the companies are acting responsibly.
