Elon Musk claimed that artificial intelligence would double the world economy, a bold prediction that drew attention across markets and tech circles. Hours later, a warning emerged from within Anthropic cautioning against overly optimistic assumptions about AI's near-term economic impact. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei subsequently published an essay calling for the AI industry to 'slow the pace' of advancing model capabilities, a proposal that came after an Anthropic researcher's public resignation stirred controversy on social media. Musk publicly backed Amodei's call for caution, warning against rushing AI progress for fear of losing control to rogue systems, while other AI industry leaders voiced similar agreement, marking a notable moment of caution from within the sector most bullish on AI's potential.
