OpenAI Considers Slowing Cutting-Edge AI Development, Altman Says

Summary

Bloomberg reports that OpenAI is considering slowing the development of cutting-edge artificial intelligence, and that Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman hopes other AI companies will do the same. At a company-wide meeting this week, Altman told employees that OpenAI could potentially adjust the pace of its development in coordination with several other AI laboratories. The discussions remain tentative: people familiar with the matter said some laboratories may not agree to participate. The report does not provide a specific slowdown target or timetable, and the details were described by anonymous sources because the meeting was private.
