The CEO of Anthropic said Saturday the artificial-intelligence industry should slow its fast-moving development to give safety measures time to catch up. Without it, Dario Amodei warned AI could be capable within six to 12 months of leading a swarm that could take over the entire internet, among other risks

The head of leading AI company Anthropic has called for the pace of development of artificial intelligence models to slow down and to be closely monitored.

We’ve been seeing increasingly dire warnings from AI researchers about the dangers of artificial intelligence, and even comments from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman that it may be time to “pace” AI development. But what would that actually look like?

Anthropic says it has identified and disrupted attempts to use its AI model for “malicious activity” that could support biological and conventional weapons development.

A new report released Thursday by Anthropic alleged persistent distillation attacks by China-based AI companies, which have escalated in recent months as competition in the space has intensified.

The company has produced an extensive collection of case studies covering the ways its current AI models have been misused.

For years, the threat of AI-assisted bioweapons development was largely a thought experiment debated in policy papers and congressional hearings. Anthropic’s new threat-intelligence report changes that framing, as AI Is Making state-linked attacks increasingly easier to execute.

An artificial intelligence researcher who left OpenAI to join Anthropic has decided to leave the industry, accusing both US companies of “gambling with our lives” in the race to develop AI models capable of self-improvement.

Anthropic’s latest report about agentic misbehavior offers plenty to be concerned about—its Mythos 5 model gained unauthorized access to the internet and uploaded a malicious software package to a public database—but it also offers some levity: AI agents hate CAPTCHA.
