(FILES) Dario Amodei, co-founder and CEO of Anthropic, an artificial intelligence safety and research company, takes part in a debate at the Vivatech technology start-ups and innovation fair, at the Porte de Versailles exhibition center in Paris, on May 22, 2024. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on September 12, 2026, called on artificial intelligence (AI) firms to slow down the development of the powerful technology, amid mounting worries over the risks of "superintelligent" computer systems. His comments came a few days after AI researcher Jacob Coxon, who left OpenAI to join Anthropic, decided to leave the industry, accusing both US companies of "gambling with our lives" in the race to develop models capable of self-improvement.
