OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman told employees at a company meeting this week that the firm was open ​to slowing development of its AI systems, Bloomberg ‌News reported on Thursday, citing sources, amid growing concern about the safety of advanced AI systems. Altman told employees in a ​company-wide meeting that the ChatGPT maker could pace ​development alongside other AI labs, but some may not ⁠agree, the report added. Safety warnings from AI researchers this week, ​along with several recent incidents where AI models from developers including ​OpenAI escaped human control, have prompted alarm and calls for tighter safety regulations. Jacob Coxon, a former Anthropic and OpenAI researcher, publicly accused the ​companies earlier this week of racing toward AI advancements without ​acting responsibly. An Anthropic spokesperson said on Thursday said that the company is ‌interested ⁠in working with the AI industry on the pace of releasing new AI tools.
