00:00AI leaders across the sector are calling to slow down the development of the powerful technology
00:06as concerns mount all the risks of super-intelligent computer systems.
00:11In an interview with CBS Sunday morning,
00:14Anthropics CEO Dario Amodei said companies need to devote more time to putting safeguards in place.
00:20It doesn't mean we need to panic today.
00:23It doesn't mean we need to shut it all down.
00:26What I would say...
00:28Why not?
00:28It's a warning sign.
00:30It's a warning sign that we need to slow down.
00:33We need to make this technology carefully,
00:36and we need to make sure that our safeguards, our ability to understand it,
00:42our ability to control it, keeps up with the pace at which the technology...
00:49These comments came a few days after Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon
00:53decided to leave the industry,
00:55accusing U.S. companies of risking human lives in the race to develop models capable of self-improvement.
01:00OpenAI boss Sam Altman and Elon Musk, who own XAI, quickly tuned in to say they agreed with Amodei's assessments
01:09as pressure bails for improved oversight.
01:12In some form, the companies need to work together to set standards about safety standards for release,
01:21perhaps something about the pace of release.
01:24But in order to do that, there needs to be involvement of the government.
01:29U.S. President Donald Trump has so far downplayed the warnings coming out of the sector
01:34and voiced opposition to drastically curbing AI's development.
