HUGE NEWS： 1，000+ AI COMPANY EMPLOYEES CALL FOR AN INTERNATIONAL EFFORT TO SLOW DOWN AI BEFORE WE LOSE CONTROL
"We can't do this unless _everyone_ does. It needs to be global. Right now we have no way to do that. We need to build a way for us to _all_ slow down."
- Saul Reynolds-Haertle， Anthropic
THE STATEMENT： "AI could help create a dramatically better future， but that outcome is not guaranteed. The world's leading AI companies believe they could be close to automating AI research. It is hard to predict exactly how much this will accelerate AI progress， but there is a real risk that capability development rapidly accelerates beyond our ability to understand or control the resulting systems.
To realize AI's potential， industry， government， and society at large may need the option to buy time to address emerging risks， develop security measures， and strengthen oversight. But each company-and country-is under intense competitive pressure not to unilaterally slow that acceleration. And today， the world lacks the technical and governance tools to deliberately pace frontier-wide progress.
Building on work already underway to monitor frontier model releases：
"We request that the U.S. government support an international effort to develop the technical and governance tools needed to deliberately pace the frontier of automated AI development."
