Anthropic CEO calls for AI slowdown as Nvidia's chief argues for acceleration
At a San Francisco conference, the two executives offered competing visions for the pace of artificial intelligence development.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei reiterated his call for a slowdown in AI development Tuesday at Salesforce's Dreamforce convention, using an automotive analogy to argue that safety incidents in the industry should prompt all companies to pause and review their practices.
The position contrasts with Nvidia CEO's argument against deceleration. OpenAI chief Sam Altman separately called for more rigorous security measures at the San Francisco conference.
