Safety voices now demand labs exit the race, seek public consent and open their safety cases to outside scrutiny.

The claim

After METR's report, the AI-safety reaction on X moved from forecasting to moral demand: a widely shared post argued that companies planning to accelerate AI research in 2027 owe the public three things they have not truly tried, getting out of the race, seeking informed consent, and opening their safety arguments to outside scrutiny, because no company can judge its own ability to keep recursive self-improvement under control.

  • groundsSource document

    The leading AI companies are planning to massively accelerate AI research in 2027, which would knowingly endanger everyone on earth.
