Anthropic is proposing that the world’s top artificial intelligence companies come up with a coordinated way to pause development of advanced AI systems, warning the technology is improving so quickly there’s a risk humans would lose control. <\/p>\n

The company behind the Claude chatbot said in a blog post Thursday that as cutting-edge AI gets increasingly faster at carrying out tasks, \u201cit would be good for the world to have the option to slow or temporarily pause\u201d its development.<\/p>\n

Anthropic said its internal research institute plans to explore the issue in collaboration with others and \u201ctake actions” to help build the systems for a credible slowdown or pause, without being more specific. <\/p>\n

AI models are getting faster, with rapid increases in how quickly they can carry out software tasks like coding on their own, the company said. Based on current trends and given enough computing power, an AI system could be able to design and develop its own successor, in what is known as \u201crecursive self-improvement.\u201d <\/p>\n

Self-building AI would be a major technological milestone that would bring benefits in science, healthcare and other areas, Anthropic said, but it \u201calso might increase the risks of humans losing control over AI systems.\u201d <\/p>\n

Some tech industry figures have long warned of such a scenario. <\/p>\n

Anthropic\u2019s post comes after a different warning this week from a team of researchers at the University of Toronto who showed how AI tools could be used to create a new kind of AI \u201cworm\u201d that adapts its hacking strategy as it spreads from device to device and takes over a vast computing network.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s really important that people understand that it\u2019s not just the biggest, most powerful language models that pose the security concerns,\u201d lead researcher Nicolas Papernot said in an interview.<\/p>\n

The authors of the Anthropic post, company co-founder Jack Clark and Marina Favaro, head of the research institute, said the pause would be used to enable \u201csocietal…<\/p>\n
