Anthropic policy chief says AI companies can't be expected to operate on 'honor code'

Anthropic's policy chief Sarah Heck stated that AI companies cannot rely on self-regulation or an "honor code" to manage safety concerns, and must work with government oversight instead. Her comments reflect ongoing debate in the tech industry about whether AI development should be deliberately slowed, with some leaders like Anthropic's CEO supporting a slowdown while others like Nvidia's CEO argue that safety and speed are not mutually exclusive.
