The debate over how far, and how fast, artificial intelligence is advancing poses a serious\u00a0dilemma for tech executives. They\u2019re keen to telegraph\u00a0their concerns about the technology\u2019s potential perils\u00a0and have offered various remedies\u00a0that include slowing down its development.<\/p>\n
But having plowed hundreds of billions of dollars into AI, they\u2019re trying to calm people down\u00a0without spooking investors and customers.<\/p>\n
The debate intensified last week\u00a0\u00a0when Anthropic PBC researcher Jacob Coxon resigned and warned that the researchers building AI \u201cearnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade\u201d.<\/p>\n
His concerns were echoed publicly by other Anthropic personnel, including alignment science lead Evan Hubinger, who said he believes there is a greater than 10% chance the technology could cause human extinction within the next decade.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump weighed in, rejecting the need for AI guardrails and taking aim at Anthropic chief executive officer Dario Amodei, who argued in a blog post on Saturday that AI capabilities are advancing faster than safeguards can keep up.<\/p>\n

Amodei proposed greater independent oversight and coordination among companies and governments.<\/p>\n
In a Truth Social post on Monday, Trump blamed a \u201cSICK conspiracy\u201d for voter backlash on AI data centres and increased concern about frontier models, adding that \u201cthe only one that is happy about it is China\u201d.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what the industry\u2019s most prominent executives are saying about where artificial intelligence should go from here:<\/p>\n
Elon Musk, SpaceX\/SpaceXAI
\u201cDario is right,\u201d he wrote in a post on X.<\/p>\n
Sam Altman, OpenAI
\u201cI agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier. This has been a primary topic of discussions we\u2019ve had at OpenAI in recent weeks. Committing to having independent evaluators with employee-like access is a great idea, and we will do the same. We\u2019ll have more to share soon,\u201d he wrote\u00a0in a post on X.<\/p>\n

Aidan Gomez, Cohere
\u201cA mechanism that slows everyone down while explicitly preserving existing commercial advantage does not make AI safer,\u201d he said in a blog post criticising the universal AI slowdown proposal. Gomez said guardrails are necessary, but argued that AI development should move at a responsible pace that society can keep up with.<\/p>\n

Satya Nadella,\u00a0 Microsoft
\u201cAny pursuit of superintelligence has to be grounded in the core principle that if the AI we build is not helping humanity and under human control, it\u2019s not worth pursuing,\u201d he wrote in a post on X.<\/p>\n

Cl\u00e9ment\u00a0Delangue, Hugging Face
\u201cIt\u2019s now clear that alignment is critical and won\u2019t be solved behind the closed doors of a handful of frontier labs,\u201d Delangue wrote, while quoting Amodei\u2019s post on X. Delangue announced Hugging Face\u2019s Open Alignment Initiative and said the company was seeking to participate in the \u201cembedded evaluators\u201d programme that Amodei had just committed Anthropic to.<\/p>\n

George Kurtz, CrowdStrike
\u201cPacing what comes next doesn\u2019t secure what\u2019s already here,\u201d he said in a post on X.\u00a0Kurtz argued that rather than trying to slow AI development, the cybersecurity industry should focus on building defenses capable of keeping pace with increasingly autonomous AI systems, including independent testing, stronger security controls and human oversight for high-impact decisions.<\/p>\n
Mark Zuckerberg, Meta
\u201cI personally am much more worried about a small number of labs or people having control of something that is so capable,\u201d he said last week on the Sources podcast. Zuckerberg argued that AI is safer when access to it is widely distributed rather than concentrated among a few companies. He criticised AI labs that develop increasingly advanced models but choose not to release them, calling that approach \u201cquite dangerous\u201d, though he didn\u2019t name any companies.<\/p>\n
