#AIIndustry to world: 'Somebody stop us'
Story by John Herrman, July 30, 2026
"More than 1,200 employees at AI firms, including top executives at #OpenAI, #Anthropic, #Meta, and #Google, have signed on to a statement calling for an 'option to buy time to address emerging risks, develop security measures, and strengthen oversight' in the face of 'a real risk that capability development rapidly accelerates beyond our ability to understand or control the resulting systems.' AI could 'help create a dramatically better future, but that outcome is not guaranteed,' they say. Companies and countries are under 'intense competitive pressure' not to slow things down unilaterally, the statement says, and the world currently lacks 'the technical and governance tools to deliberately pace fronter-wide progress.'
