The erosion of confidence stems from doubts over the industry's growth projections. The construction of new data centers for artificial intelligence (AI) may be slowing down, exacerbating the situation. Recently, Dario Amodei, CEO of AI laboratory Anthropic, advocated for a slower development pace for AI models, citing a need for time to focus on safety training, model introspection, and more rigorous testing. \"Read also: 'Near-week gap closed' – How China and the US vie for AI supremacy,\" the source notes.
