Summary

A global AI safety pact may need to be designed without trust, according to a Fortune article. Senior AI developers and researchers have expressed concerns about AI capabilities outpacing safety measures. Jacob Coxon, a former employee of OpenAI and Anthropic, resigned with warnings about self-improving AI. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for “pacing the frontier” and proposed action at multiple levels. The article argues that cooperation is possible without trust, focusing on shared risks rather than shared values. It suggests that international coordination should begin with agreements on early warning indicators and development practices that signal dangerous capabilities.
