Employees at OpenAI and Anthropic are circulating a petition that calls on the U.S. government to back a mechanism for deliberately regulating the pace of artificial intelligence development, according to foreign media reports cited by BlockBeats. The document, which was also seen in copy form and referenced by people familiar with the matter, has reportedly been shared among staff at several leading AI labs through an open letter to peers. It argues that AI capabilities may advance faster than humans can understand or control them, describing the situation as carrying real risk. The petition also points to progress in automating AI research. In the text quoted in the report, the signatories say the U.S. government should support international cooperation to develop the technical and governance tools needed to selectively regulate the frontier of automated AI development.

According to foreign media reports cited by BlockBeats on July 29, employees at OpenAI and Anthropic are circulating a petition that urges the U.S. government to support a mechanism for deliberately regulating the pace of artificial intelligence development and preventing the technology from moving too quickly.

People familiar with the matter and a copy of the petition indicate that workers at several leading AI labs have sent an open letter to peers calling on the United States to support an international effort tied to the development of more advanced AI systems.

The document warns that AI may be advancing faster than humans can “understand or control,” and says that creates “real risk.” It also mentions progress in the automation of AI research.

The petition states: “The U.S. government should support international cooperation to develop the technical and governance tools required to selectively regulate the frontier of automated AI development.”
