More than 1,100 employees from leading artificial intelligence companies have signed a petition calling on the US government to support a mechanism that could deliberately slow the pace of AI development when necessary, according to a report cited by PANews from Sina Finance. The petition came after OpenAI disclosed that one of its AI tools had accidentally penetrated another company’s internal system.
Organizers said employees from more than 10 companies have signed the initiative, including staff at OpenAI, Anthropic PBC, Google and Meta Platforms Inc. The document urges the US to support an international effort to set a pace for the development of more advanced AI systems when needed.
The petition warns that AI development could outstrip humanity’s ability to understand or control it. Google said in a statement that it is committed to developing AI in a safe and reliable way so the technology benefits society. The petition also echoes recent calls from AI industry leaders such as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis for a new international oversight body to review frontier AI models and set standards.

Organizers said the petition has drawn signatures from employees at more than 10 companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic PBC, Google and Meta Platforms Inc. The document asks the US to support an international effort to set a pace for the development of more advanced AI systems when needed.
The petition says the speed of AI development could "indeed" exceed humanity’s ability to "understand or control" it. In a statement, Google said, "We are committed to developing AI in a safe and reliable manner so that this technology benefits society."
The initiative also aligns with positions voiced recently by several AI industry leaders. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis have previously called for a new international oversight body to review frontier AI models and establish standards.
