## Resource

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is sounding the alarm, urging a dramatic slowdown in AI development to prevent existential risks. He’s laid out a three-point plan to “pace the frontier,” warning that rogue AI could overrun the internet in just six months — citing recent incidents as proof of urgency. Even minor delays, he argues, could buy critical time for smarter, safer decisions. Backed by concerns from a former researcher who quit over fears of reckless AI advancement, Amodei proposes giving third-party safety evaluators full access to AI systems, pushing democracies to unify on global safety standards — and even engaging authoritarian regimes, despite compliance challenges. Anthropic’s own actions — blocking scientists from using its models to aid biological weapons — underscore the real stakes: we’re racing against time to steer AI toward benefit, not disaster.
