OpenAI Is Considering Slowing Down The Development Of Cutting-edge AI, Sam Altman Is Hoping Other AI Companies Will Do The Same
OpenAI is reportedly considering slowing down the development of cutting-edge AI, with CEO Sam Altman hoping other AI companies will follow suit. This was discussed in a company-wide meeting, where Altman suggested OpenAI might pace its AI development, possibly in collaboration with other AI labs. However, there's skepticism that all companies, particularly those in China, would agree to such a slowdown.

Not good: OpenAI is considering slowing down the development of cutting-edge AI, Sam Altman is hoping other AI companies will do the same.

"In a company-wide meeting this week, Altman told employees that OpenAI could potentially pace its AI development — perhaps in conjunction with several other AI labs, but that some may not agree to do so, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be named because the details are private."
I cannot imagine that China would go through a slowdown.
