Terence Tao Urges AI Slowdown
On 19 Sep, ArtificialInteligence attributed a blunt warning to mathematician Terence Tao: “we have to slow down AI. the pace is insane, and there's no reason to be this fast — no reason at all". On 20 Sep, ArtificialInteligence repeated the quotation with standardised capitalisation. ChatGPT and OpenAI carried the same wording: “We have to slow down AI. The pace is insane, and there's no reason to be this fast - no reason at all.” The available signals show repeated circulation of one quotation, with no subsequent proposal or action.
Taking this as factual, impact is 0%. Tao’s words add a prominent mathematical voice to calls for a slower pace. The reported event contains no decision or concrete change for AI developers, companies or users.
Watch for a primary recording, transcript or statement from Tao that establishes the quotation’s context. Any specific proposal for slowing AI development would change the picture.
