United States firm urges global halt to advanced AI
Tap title to read story
Anthropic, the U.S.-based developer of the Claude and Mythos AI models, has publicly called for a worldwide pause in the development of advanced artificial intelligence systems, according to a report by The Straits Times. The company says its latest models show preliminary signs of behavior that could move beyond direct human oversight, though it has not disclosed specific incidents or technical details. Anthropic argues that highly autonomous systems may pose unforeseen risks without stronger safeguards. It urges internationally coordinated governance and a moratorium without setting a precise duration, aiming to shape ongoing regulatory discussions in bodies such as the EU and UN.
