A group of 1,178 employees from frontier AI companies has signed a statement titled "Pacing the Frontier," urging the U.S. government to back international cooperation and develop technical and governance tools that can actively regulate the pace of frontier AI development. The statement says leading AI companies believe the world may be approaching automated AI research, even if the exact effect on the speed of AI progress remains hard to predict. It warns that AI capabilities could advance faster than human understanding and control. The signatories argue that industry, governments and society should preserve the option to "buy time" so emerging risks can be addressed, safety measures improved and regulation strengthened. The statement also says the world currently lacks governance mechanisms capable of actively controlling the pace of frontier AI development because both companies and countries are under competitive pressure. It adds that frontier AI agents can already find and exploit real software vulnerabilities and, without safety measures, could be used in large-scale cyberattacks. Employees from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Meta were among the signatories.
Employees from frontier AI companies have released a joint statement, "Pacing the Frontier," signed by 1,178 people and calling on the U.S. government to support international cooperation and build technical and governance tools that can actively regulate the pace of frontier AI development.
The statement says leading AI companies believe the world may be nearing automated AI research. While it does not claim the exact impact on the speed of AI progress can be forecast precisely, it warns that AI capabilities could advance rapidly beyond human understanding and control.
The signatories said industry, government and society should retain the option to "buy time" in order to respond to emerging risks, strengthen safety measures and tighten regulation.
At the same time, the statement argues that the world lacks governance mechanisms able to actively control the pace of frontier AI development because both companies and countries face competitive pressure.
It also says frontier AI agents already have the ability to discover and exploit real software vulnerabilities. Without adequate safety measures, those systems could be used for large-scale cyberattacks.
Employees from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Meta were among those who signed the statement. According to the text, an international coordination mechanism is needed to reduce potential risks while AI development continues.
