What execs and politicians are saying about slowing down AI development

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay arguing that AI development should be slowed down for safety reasons, and other AI leaders and politicians have responded with support or opposition to his ideas. Amodei's proposal includes three steps for pacing AI development: using independent third-party evaluators (external reviewers who aren't part of the company) to check if companies are following safety practices, and coordination between major AI companies in democratic countries on standards.
