Tech leaders are calling for an A.I. pause because they have no product ready, Palantir CEO says

Palantir’s boss Alex Karp opposes the idea of a pause in artificial intelligence research, in contrast to an open letter from the Future of Life Institute signed by some of the biggest names in the tech industry.

The letter, which has garnered over 31,000 signatures including names like Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, called for a pause on AI research on models larger than GPT-4, which powers tools such as ChatGPT.

The letter also said that if “such a pause cannot be enacted quickly, governments should step in and institute a moratorium.”
