AI industry leaders including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have proposed slowing AI development, but skeptics question whether the plans lack specifics and whether companies are genuinely committed given competitive pressures and weak regulatory enforcement.
OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind have been coordinating on AI safety measures for weeks, including efforts to embed third-party evaluators and potentially establish an industry standards body. The initiative follows Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's call for the industry to slow frontier AI development to mitigate catastrophic risks, though President Trump has dismissed such concerns as overblown.
OpenAI acquired smartphone camera maker Glass Imaging for over $300 million. Founded in 2019 by former Apple engineers Ziv Attar and Tom Bishop, the company uses AI and neural networks to improve smartphone camera image quality in real time. The purchase aligns with OpenAI's reported plans to develop its own hardware devices.
