Tech employees call for US-backed global effort to manage risks of advanced AI

More than 1,100 employees from leading tech firms on Tuesday urged the U.S. government to support an international effort to develop tools for managing the pace of advanced AI development.

The statement comes as AI companies pursue increasingly powerful systems, raising concerns that developments could outpace existing safety, governance and ‌oversight mechanisms.

The initiative, called Pacing the Frontier, includes employees from Meta Platforms, Anthropic, OpenAI and Alphabet’s Google, with support from nonprofits Guidelight AI Standards and Encode AI.
