[Ultraman Internal Statement: OpenAI Considers Collaborating with Peers to Slow Down AI Development] Beating AI Newsflash: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated during an all-hands meeting this week that the company is open to considering slowing down cutting-edge AI development, ideally with several leading AI companies decelerating together. However, he also acknowledged that not all companies would agree to this. OpenAI Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki publicly expressed this week that no lab has yet solved sufficiently reliable alignment and monitoring issues, making it unsustainable to continue scaling models at maximum speed in the long term. He hopes that companies will voluntarily slow down before a unified safety threshold is established. OpenAI has recently already slowed down the development of certain models and has paused some internal training due to safety concerns. [Original Article Link]
