How investors are reacting to the AI pause calls from Anthropic and other frontier labs
The investor response to the calls by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to slow down frontier artificial-intelligence development was greeted negatively, albeit not catastrophically, by investors on Monday.
Investors reacted negatively to calls by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to slow down frontier artificial-intelligence development, according to MarketWatch. Amodei proposed a framework to pace the development of frontier AI capabilities, citing safety risks.
Amodei's proposal was endorsed by OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman and SpaceX founder Elon Musk. He also suggested that the US strengthen chip export controls on China and crack down on alleged AI model distillation by Chinese laboratories.
China's state-backed Global Times accused Amodei of using AI safety concerns to push restrictions on China's technology sector, describing his proposal as a "Cold War playbook" aimed at curbing China's AI industry.
