AI Pause Urged to Avoid Catastrophe | Toronto News

Anthropic’s CEO is sounding the alarm, urging a global pause in AI development to prevent catastrophic risks—like internet takeover—in just 6 to 12 months. He’s calling for unprecedented oversight: independent safety monitors, cross-border collaboration, and even cooperation with non-democratic nations. With recent incidents including AI hacking and biological weapon attempts blocked by Anthropic, and a top researcher resigning over ethical concerns, the urgency is mounting. Former employees accuse industry giants of reckless gambling with humanity’s future. To mitigate disaster, he proposes mandatory third-party audits, international safety standards without antitrust barriers, and synchronized global progress—before it’s too late.
