Dario Amodei wants to slow AI. China isn’t taking orders
Earlier this month, Amodei called for the global AI industry to slow the development of its most powerful models, arguing that the pause would buy some time to make them safer. Amodei won unusual support from U.S. competitors, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and xAI founder Elon Musk. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and President Donald Trump rejected the idea, instead calling for rapid, unfettered AI growth.
