**[Over 1,000 AI Company Employees in the U.S. Sign Open Letter Seeking Mechanism to Coordinate and Slow Down Frontier AI Development]** DeepFlow Tech reported on July 29 that 1,132 employees from frontier AI companies (including OpenAI, Meta, Google, and Anthropic) issued a joint statement. The statement emphasized that AI has the potential to create a far better future, but this outcome is not guaranteed. Leading AI companies currently believe that the automation of AI research and development is imminent. Although the exact acceleration rate is difficult to predict, a real risk is approaching: rapid breakthroughs in AI capabilities may lead to an evolution pace that surpasses human understanding and control. To unlock AI's true potential, the industry, governments, and society urgently need a window of time to address emerging risks, build safety measures, and strengthen regulatory frameworks. However, each company and even each country faces a competitive dilemma of being "afraid to slow down alone." At present, there is a lack of effective tools globally, both technically and in governance, to prudently regulate the overall pace of frontier AI development. The statement calls on the U.S. government to build upon existing monitoring mechanisms for frontier model releases and promote international collaboration to develop necessary technical and governance measures to carefully guide the automation of AI research and development. Signatories of the statement include OpenAI Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki, OpenAI Chief Research Officer Mark Chen, Anthropic Co-founder and Chief Scientist Jared Kaplan, and Meta Chief Scientist Shengjia Zhao. Google Research Scientist Stephanie Chan stated, "I signed this statement in my personal capacity because I support having greater 'optionalities' within the scope of actionable measures to ensure that societies and governments worldwide have the time to think deeply and prepare for adjustments to this powerful technology."
