Arvind Narayanan says OpenAI and Anthropic could slow down unilaterally

What was said

""I do think they can unilaterally slow down and they're choosing not to do that. This is almost very specifically an open AI and anthropic problem. It's a culture problem.""

Arvind Narayanan argues some frontier AI labs could slow development without waiting for government action, but are choosing not to. He says the pressure to race is driven less by unavoidable external competition and more by internal culture and beliefs about a rush to superintelligence.
