OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said at a company-wide meeting this week that the company could consider slowing frontier AI development, and that the best outcome would be for several leading AI companies to ease the pace together. He also acknowledged that not every company would agree to such a move. Separately, OpenAI chief scientist Jakub Pachocki said this week that no lab has solved alignment and monitoring well enough to keep scaling models at maximum speed over the long run. He said he hopes companies will slow down voluntarily before a common safety threshold is established. OpenAI has already slowed some model development recently and has at times paused internal training runs over safety concerns.
