Anthropic CEO outlines plan to slow AI development

Anthropic CEO outlines a plan to slow AI development, addressing concerns about the dangers of artificial intelligence and the need to "pace" its progress. The plan suggests that if the U.S. government and tech companies refuse to sell powerful chips or semiconductor manufacturing equipment to Chinese companies and crack down on model distillation, they could "slow China's progress enough to widen America's lead significantly over the next 3-5 years."

Unlike previous general calls for pacing AI, this plan specifically proposes refusing to sell powerful chips or semiconductor manufacturing equipment to Chinese companies.
