1,224 employees of the world's leading AI companies have just signed a statement asking the US government to back an international effort to deliberately pace frontier AI development, see link below. Signed by people still drawing a paycheck from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind and Meta, including several CEOs and co-founders, rather than resigned/fired whistleblowers. These companies believe they're close to automating AI research, and they're openly saying the industry doesn't yet have the technical or governance tools to control the pace of what happens next. Competitive pressure means no single lab can afford to slow down alone, so they're asking for outside intervention to do what the market structure won't let them do themselves.

Several AI executives, co-founders and research leaders had signed the letter as of Tuesday afternoon, including Anthropic’s Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei, OpenAI Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki and Meta Superintelligence Lab’s Chief Scientist Shengjia Zhao. Anthropic posted Tuesday on the social media platform X in support of the petition, writing that its own research “points to the need for tools to deliberately pace the frontier of AI development so society can prepare. We’re glad to see broad agreement across the field.” [...] The petition urges the US to support an international effort that would help set the pace for building more sophisticated AI systems, if needed. The document warns there is “a real risk” that AI progresses faster than people can “understand or control,” referencing advances in automating AI research. Bloomberg News previously reported employees were circulating the petition. “We request that the U.S. government support an international effort to dev

"If systems are capable of fully building their own successors, the ways we secure them, monitor them, and shape their behavior all grow much more important," the post said. "We believe it would be good for the world to have the option to slow or temporarily pause frontier AI development to enable societal structures and alignment research to keep up with the advance of the technology," it added. What recursive self-improvement means Recursive self-improvement, often abbreviated as RSI, refers to a process in which an AI system uses its existing capabilities to make itself better.

Our own research on recursive self-improvement, published last month, points to the need for tools to deliberately pace the frontier of AI development so society can prepare.
