Meta Chief AI Officer: AI capabilities are accelerating, and the industry must proceed prudently

Odaily reports: Meta Platforms (META.O) Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer Alexandr Wang stated that "AI benefiting everyone" means people can trust powerful AI to reliably operate toward their own goals without producing unwanted side effects. Alignment is at the core of fulfilling this promise. We are at a critical moment for the industry, with capabilities growing rapidly, and we must make rapid progress on alignment to keep pace. The positive future we seek, one in which AI truly benefits everyone, requires the entire industry to take prudent and thoughtful action during this critical period. (Jinshi)

Previously, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a long blog post stating that the company would adopt new safety measures, such as introducing third-party evaluation institutions, while also calling on the entire industry to support broader measures to slow the development of AI models. OpenAI CEO Altman quickly said he would adopt Amodei's proposal to "give independent evaluation institutions access similar to that of employees." Elon Musk, who runs xAI, also said: "Dario is right."
