Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, published an article on his website titled 'We Must Control the Pace of Frontier Development.' In the post, he advocates for slowing down the development of AI, clarifying that this does not mean stopping model training or technical progress.
The proposal received public support from industry figures including Sam Altman and Elon Musk. Analysts note that the initiative is unlikely to harm Anthropic's business or its upcoming IPO valuation. The discussion currently focuses on AI safety, antitrust risks, and the funding of independent assessment agencies.
Political pressure on the AI sector is mounting as the Democratic Party considers stricter regulations. Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced a bill proposing prison sentences for developers of systems that surpass human intelligence, while the potential shift in the political landscape could alter the regulatory environment.
In the hardware sector, Snap is preparing for an event to promote its AR glasses, SPECS. The device, which was announced several weeks ago, has a retail price of $2195. Snap CEO Evan Spiegel describes the product as the future of personal computing.
Despite the company's vision, market confidence remains low. Snap's stock price has declined by 30% since the beginning of the year, reflecting investor skepticism toward the high-priced hardware strategy.
