Amodei says pacing does not mean halting training or progress, but giving companies time to align and safeguard models and third-party evaluators time to verify (Bloomberg)

Anthropic PBC CEO Dario Amodei stated that slowing the pace of AI development does not imply halting training or progress. Instead, it means providing companies with sufficient time to align and safeguard their models. Additionally, it allows third-party evaluators adequate time to verify these models, ensuring responsible and secure advancement within the artificial intelligence industry, as reported by Bloomberg.

Unlike previous calls for outright halts, Amodei's statement clarifies that "pacing" means allowing time for alignment and third-party verification, not stopping AI progress.
