Demis Hassabis backed the same call, citing DeepMind's own proposal for industry-wide AI standards, while critics call it coordinated pacing among rivals.
OpenAI already paused some internal training runs on safety grounds, and Altman wants rivals to match a slower pace, not just OpenAI.
The Anthropic CEO gives hard dates for AI risk but no compute threshold for when any of it kicks in.
His roughly 6,000-word August 26 essay argues "AI will either be the greatest equalizer ever invented, or the worst source of injustice," and that he sees no evidence leaders are confronting the transition adequately (CNN). Three risks: entry- and mid-level job displacement ci...
The Ministry of Education announced August 7 that all upper-secondary students must verbally defend written work produced at home, in force immediately, covering ~9,000 students in the two-year Higher Preparatory Examination program (CNN). The package also asks schools to moni...
