# Altman, Musk, and Hassabis back Amodei's call for AI oversight

*2026-09-13 · Source: [The Decoder](https://the-decoder.com/altman-musk-and-hassabis-back-amodeis-call-to-add-independent-oversight/)*

Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Demis Hassabis publicly backed Dario Amodei's recent call to slow parts of AI development and add independent oversight. Altman also said OpenAI is pushing back its IPO consideration to 2027, citing safety concerns.

**Why it matters:** Public agreement from three rival lab heads, who rarely align publicly, suggests real political or safety pressure is building industry-wide rather than this being Anthropic positioning itself as the safety-first lab. Whether this becomes a coordinated policy proposal or stays at the level of statements is the thing to watch next.

**Topics:** policy, security
