Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei Calls for Slower AI Development, Backed by Musk and Altman

On September 15, 2026, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated that the AI industry must pause development to ensure safety protocols can keep pace. He argued that the current rate of neural network advancement has reached a point where it is no longer under control. This call for caution was supported by Elon Musk and Sam Altman, who both publicly endorsed Amodei's position. Amodei previously outlined a three-step plan to limit AI spread, which he reiterated in his recent statements. The Uzbeks reported the endorsement, while the Jamaican and Indian outlets focused on Amodei's safety concerns.
