Breaking News! Anthropic Calls for a Universal Pause in AI Research

Anthropic warns of AI self-evolution, reporting that over 80% of its internal code is now written by its AI, Claude. Productivity has surged, with engineers merging 8x more code than in 2024. Claude's performance on complex, open-ended tasks jumped from 26% to 76% success in six months, nearing human parity. The company introduces a new metric: "AI task duration." In 2024, AI handled 4-minute tasks; by 2026, it manages 16-hour tasks, with capability doubling every 4 months. Claude also reviews code, catching bugs that previously caused outages, and significantly outperforms humans in research tasks like optimizing code (52x speedup) and conducting AI safety experiments. Anthropic outlines three potential futures: 1) Progress plateaus, 2) AI accelerates but humans remain in control, or 3) AI achieves full recursive self-improvement (RSI), designing its own successors. This final path could revolutionize fields like medicine but also risks catastrophic alignment failure if control is lost. The call echoes similar concerns from OpenAI. Anthropic proposes a coordinated pause on AI development—if a verifiable mechanism to ensure all labs comply can be established.
