Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the weekend called for “pacing” the advance of the most powerful AI systems, and antitrust exemptions to allow for industry co-operation. “Market-dominant” firms shouldn’t get to set the rules and safety standards, Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez said in a post. “A wolf in sheep’s clothing, a cartel by any other name.” (The Logic)
Talking point: Gomez instead called for a regulatory regime designed to address what he thinks are the real risks the technology poses, developed collectively by all the countries building AI. He also said AI firms should disclose more about their models and their capabilities. U.S. President Donald Trump rejected Amodei and Altman’s proposals, saying Washington has already done enough to mitigate any catastrophic risks AI may pose. Prime Minister Mark Carney, meanwhile, backed the creation of a global “technology stability” body, modelled on the Financial Stability Board established in the wake of the global financial crisis of 2008; Carney was Bank of Canada governor at the time.
