00:00This weekend, Anthropics CEO Dario Amadei published a lengthy essay on the future of AI and asked everyone to slow
00:07down, for safety's sake.
00:09It added to growing anxiety about the threats of the new technology after a series of high-profile security breaches.
00:16Amadei's main proposal is to allow access to third-party evaluators to review Anthropics' AI models to better understand the
00:23risks,
00:24and forestall AI, improving too quickly for humans to retain control.
00:28Sam Altman expressed support and said he'd adopt a similar practice at OpenAI.
00:33Ex-AI boss Elon Musk reiterated his call for peer review of cutting-edge AI.
00:38Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said he'll be publishing a code of conduct for responsible AI development on Monday.
00:44But there's no real consensus on the matter.
00:47U.S. President Donald Trump has shrugged off safety concerns and said the U.S. needs to continue chasing AI
00:53gains.
00:53We're leading China in AI. We're the most sophisticated country in the world.
00:58And frankly, I want to keep it that way, because whoever wins AI wins.
01:02Chinese AI developers are rapidly closing the gap on their U.S. peers, and the Trump administration considers the AI
01:08race a must-win.
01:10Beijing has similarly made AI a strategic priority, and startups like DeepSeq are pouring billions into ambitious data center projects
01:17to help them catch up.
01:18China, however, has also criticized the dire warnings about AI risks, calling them fear-mongering.
01:25Markets may not be taking talk of a slowdown well, as AI linchpins like Samsung and SK Hynix and OpenAI
01:32backer SoftBank all fell after Amadei's essay.
01:35So while AI safety remains a real concern, slowing its progress is likely to face continued resistance from multiple fronts,
01:42whether that's political rivalry or market pressure.
