OpenAI and Google Researchers Urge Slower AI Development Pace to U.S. Government

Over 1,100 professionals from major AI firms including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta have urged the U.S. government to establish governance frameworks to intentionally regulate front-line AI development. In an open letter, they argue that automated AI advancement could outpace human control, requiring international coordination. Signatories, including Anthropic's Jared Kaplan and OpenAI's Jakub Pachocki, warn that recursive self-improvement in AI systems could surpass human oversight, urging global efforts to create technical and governance mechanisms to manage this risk.
