OpenAI weighs slowing AI development, Altman wants rivals to follow
Bloomberg sources say OpenAI is considering slowing its AI development, with CEO Sam Altman telling a company meeting he hopes other AI firms will do the same and may work with other labs to push it. Chief scientist Jakub Pachocki wrote that AI is evolving too fast to be understood and controlled, and that companies should coordinate to slow down when needed. More than 1,000 staff at major AI companies had earlier signed a petition calling for a mechanism to slow development.
