Meta Platforms Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer Alexandr Wang said making AI beneficial for everyone depends on people being able to trust powerful systems to reliably pursue their goals without producing unwanted side effects. He identified AI alignment, or matching system behavior with human objectives, as central to that promise and said the industry is at a critical point as capabilities advance rapidly. Wang urged the sector to accelerate alignment work and act carefully during this period. His comments followed Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s call for new safety measures, including third-party assessments, and broader industry support for slowing AI model development. OpenAI CEO Altman said OpenAI would adopt Amodei’s proposal to give independent evaluators employee-like access, while Elon Musk, who runs xAI, endorsed Amodei’s position.
