Demis Hassabis backs Dario Amodei's essay calling for AI industry to slow down

Demis Hassabis says Dario Amodei's essay, which argues the AI industry should slow down, points toward the right path, though the details still need working through.

He also points to Google DeepMind's recent proposal for an industry-wide standards body for frontier AI. The quoted essay describes a three-part plan, and Anthropic is committing to give third-party evaluators permanent, employee-level access to its systems.
