Elon Musk, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis voiced support for Amodei after he published an essay titled “We Must Pace the Frontier,” in which he argued that the AI industry should slow down and outlined a three-part plan for doing so, Anadolu agency reported.

“Dario is right,” Musk said in a brief response to Amodei’s post on US social media company X.
Altman also agreed with the proposal, saying pacing the frontier had been a major subject of recent discussions at OpenAI.
“I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier. This has been a primary topic of discussions we’ve had at OpenAI in recent weeks,” he said.
Altman particularly endorsed Amodei’s proposal to give independent evaluators extensive access to advanced AI systems.
“Committing to having independent evaluators with employee-like access is a great idea, and we will do the same. We’ll have more to share soon,” he added.
Hassabis said Amodei’s essay pointed “towards the right path forward,” while acknowledging that details of the approach still needed to be worked out.
“The direction is correct for meeting this critical moment,” he said.
Hassabis linked Amodei’s proposal to Google DeepMind’s recent call for an industry-wide standards body for frontier AI.
