Anthropic and OpenAI Leaders Weigh Hard Caps on AI Intelligence

Speakers at The Curve, a Berkeley AI conference, discussed limiting how intelligent large language models can become, amid concerns over recursive self-improvement.

Proposed approaches include Anthropic's responsible scaling policy, limits on compute and model copies, and restrictions on using frontier models for AI research.

The column notes such enforcement tools do not yet exist and that the Trump administration opposes such restrictions.
