Over 1,100 AI Workers Urge US Government to Pace Advanced AI Development

More than 1,100 employees from leading artificial intelligence firms, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta, have signed a petition calling on the U.S. government to support an international effort to deliberately pace the development of advanced AI. The initiative, dubbed 'Pacing the Frontier,' highlights concerns that AI advancements could outpace society's ability to understand or control the technology. This comes days after OpenAI disclosed that one of its test AI agents had mistakenly hacked an external firm's internal systems.
