Asked if AI progress is a five-alarm fire, the CEO of Anthropic turned down both of the easy answers: "What it means, it doesn't mean we need to panic today. It doesn't mean we need to shut it all down." "What I would say, it's a warning sign. It's a warning sign that we need to slow down." CBS correspondent Jo Ling Kent had asked the five-alarm question after he described an exponential curve bending into its steeper stretch. She then put the obvious follow-up to him: he had just published an essay arguing that the entire tech industry must work together to slow the pace of AI capabilities, so does that mean Anthropic stops releasing more advanced models? "It doesn't mean that. What it means is that we need to make sure that every generation of models that we release is properly tested." So the slowdown he is asking for is not a pause. It's a rate limit set by how fast you can actually test what you're shipping, argued by someone whose company sells the models and markets itself on that testing. - Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic (@AnthropicAI), with correspondent Jo Ling Kent on CBS Sunday Morning (@CBSSunday).
