The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, June 5, edition that Anthropic urges top artificial intelligence labs to slow down technology development to address its global implications. The Globe's Irene Galea writes that following its IPO filing, Anthropic shared data indicating that AI systems might soon autonomously create their own successors, without human input. On Thursday Anthropic 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." Anthropic recommends a pause in AI development that requires collaboration among well-resourced labs across multiple countries. However, without a unified strategy, a slowdown could enable less cautious actors to advance, ultimately compromising safety. Anthropic aims to develop the necessary systems for such a pause. "Without a global coordination mechanism, companies and governments will have to make difficult decisions about safety while under competitive and geopolitical pressures." Many have warned that the technology has thousands of critical security flaws, risking over 100 million people to cyber attacks.
