Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, has warned that the artificial-intelligence industry needs to slow down its development. This is to allow safety measures to catch up, as current progress could lead to significant risks. Amodei cautioned that AI could be capable of leading a swarm to take over the entire internet within six to 12 months if left unchecked.

Amodei has proposed a plan to increase checks on the industry, which would require coordination among companies and governments worldwide. Anthropic is already undertaking part of this plan on its own.

Further details on Amodei's warning and proposed plan are available, outlining the potential risks and steps to mitigate them.
