Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg rejected calls for a coordinated slowdown in AI development, asserting each AI company must independently ensure its technology is safe. He emphasised prioritising safe AI development over recursive self-improvement and noted Meta delayed its Muse AI agent launch to ensure safety.
