Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s call to slow the advancement of increasingly capable artificial intelligence models, conduct independent safety assessments, and pursue international cooperation has intensified the industry debate over control. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the world was right to fear that the technology could go wrong, but that companies should be trusted. He said they would slow or halt development if safety work fell behind.
Altman, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk backed the call. US President Donald Trump dismissed risk concerns as a “hoax,” arguing that regulations would weaken competition with China. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang described safety as an “engineering problem” and opposed new laws. While Altman advocated self-regulation, Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark described the absence of regulation as “rolling the dice with very large risks.” US Senator Bernie Sanders said decisions should not be left to a handful of billionaires, while Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said companies had the resources and economic incentives to ensure safety.
