Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has entered the growing debate over whether the AI industry must slow down the development of advanced language models, arguing that individual labs already have strong reasons, and enough tools, to build AI safer without asking for an industry-wide slowdown.

Mr. Zuckerberg’s perspective, shared on platform X, comes just days after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for the AI industry to “pace the frontier,” setting up one of the clearest disagreements yet among the leaders of the companies building increasingly capable AI systems.
