Dario Amodei proposes AI development speed limits and governance frameworks

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is calling for a controlled slowdown in AI development, warning that recursive self-improvement could threaten internet infrastructure within six to twelve months. To manage these risks, Amodei proposes embedded auditors at AI companies, unified safety standards, and international governance agreements structured similarly to the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) treaties, ahead of a potential major initial public offering. Claims are as reported; this summary makes no determination about accuracy or significance.
