Dario Amodei says the "toughest dilemma" about his proposal to "pace the frontier" is what happens if China does not do the same (Ashley Capoot/CNBC)

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has expressed concerns regarding his proposal to "pace the frontier" of artificial intelligence development. Amodei stated that the "toughest dilemma" he faces is the potential outcome if China does not adopt a similar approach to slowing AI advancement. This highlights a significant geopolitical challenge in regulating the rapid progress of AI technology, as a lack of global consensus could undermine efforts to manage its development effectively.

Unlike previous discussions on AI pacing, Amodei's statement directly addresses the geopolitical challenge of China's potential non-participation as the "toughest dilemma."
