AI leaders sign a statement asking the government to do something about automated AI

Employees from major AI companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta have published a statement asking the US government to help slow down frontier AI development (advanced AI systems at the cutting edge) or speed up global coordination on AI governance. The employees warn that AI could soon automate its own research process, which might accelerate progress in unpredictable ways and create risks they cannot fully control.
