Anthropic CEO pledges to slow AI development for safety at UN

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei promised the UN Security Council on Wednesday that his company will "slow down as much as necessary" the development of its artificial intelligence to ensure each new commercialized model is "truly safe." This marks the first unilateral commitment to decelerate from the executive, coming ten days after he called for coordinated braking among major AI players, a move that has not yet materialized. Amodei's pledge was made during a UN Security Council session, highlighting growing international concern over AI safety and the pace of advancement in the field.
