- Jakub Pachocki, OpenAI's Chief Scientist, stated that no lab has solved alignment sufficiently to keep scaling AI at maximum speed.
- Pachocki expressed hope that voluntary slowdowns become commonplace, situating his remarks within OpenAI's mid-2023 "RLSlow" research project.
Why it matters: The chief scientist of one of the world's most aggressive-scaling AI labs publicly conceding that alignment remains unsolved at current speeds reframes the industry's race dynamic — voluntary restraint, rather than capability, is being cast as the responsible path forward by the very labs driving the acceleration.
