The leaders of Anthropic and OpenAI joined calls for a slowdown in AI development amid fears the industry is racing toward building technology that humans can’t control.

On Saturday, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an online essay urging companies and governments to “pace the frontier” of AI advancement. He called for international cooperation around AI development and said labs need to embed third-party evaluators to report incidents and track safety practices. He said Anthropic would take that step unilaterally.

Shortly after, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted on X that he agreed with Amodei and that OpenAI would follow suit. Altman also told Fortune in an interview released Saturday that the company’s highly anticipated initial public offering will be delayed until 2027, citing safety concerns.
